Your 2013 Harvey Awards Winners



The winners of the 2013 Harvey Awards were announced last night at an awards ceremony held in conjunction with the Baltimore Comic-Con. Saga won a ton of awards, including both best new series and best series. Recent-year awards favorites Blacksad and the Parker IDW series both won an award. The Adventure Time effort at KaBOOM! was recognized with more than one, and Jaime Hernandez won best cartoonist.

Two comic book industry veterans won the affiliated Hero Initiative awards: Paul Levitz the Dick Giordano Humanitarian Award, Sal Buscema the Lifetime Achievement. Buscema resides in that general area of the country, and I don't know that he's done a whole lot of shows recently so several people in attendance at the convention were excited to meet him.

Congratulations to all the nominees and winners, including my pals and peers in the Journalism/history/biography category, won by Robot 6. The Harveys are distinguished by a double general votership process whereby everyone eligible nominates and then everyone eligible votes on the nominees. They are named after the Rushmore-level 20th Century cartoonist Harvey Kurtzman.

Winners in bold.
