Your 2008 Harvey Awards Winners

The 2008 Harvey Awards winners were announced during a ceremony on Saturday, September 27, at the Marriott Inner Harbor Hotel in Baltimore. The awards are named after the legendary cartoonist and comics editor Harvey Kurtzman. I believe they are the only North American major comics awards focused primarily on comic books in which the general voting pool generates both nominees and winners. This year's winners are in bold.
