Your 2018 Harvey Awards Winners



This year's refurbished Harvey Awards winners were named during the Friday evening of New York Comic-Con.

I have no measurables by which to determine the success or failure of any individual awards program, although the relaunch of this particular program did drive coverage during the nominations round and right after. The winners strike me as solid but not distinctive, and in fact those taking home a Harvey are many of the same names that took home Eisners. Eisner Awards administrator Jackie Estrada receiving an industry award from the program further blurred the lines a bit. Roz Chast -- sick and unable to make the ceremony -- and Dave Gibbons went into the Harveys Hall of Fame.

I'd be surprised if the program didn't do at least well enough to be done again in 2019.

Calvin Reid served as host.

Your winners in bold. Congratulations to winners and nominees.
