Your Russ Manning Award Nominees

Comic-Con International has announced this year's nominees for the Russ Manning Promising Newcomer Award. That's a traditional award that's been around, the press release tells me, since 1982. It's named for Russ Manning, the talented newspaper strip and comic book artist who was an earlier supporter of the convention. Pas winners include Jeff Smith, R. Kikuo Johnson, Eric Shanower and Steve Rude. This year's nominees as listed by the awards are:

* Gregory Baldwin, writer/artist of Path (com.x Ltd)
* Eleanor Davis, writer/artist of Stinky (RAW Junior/Toon Books)
* Leigh Kellogg, artist of Wayfarer's Moon (Single Edge Studios)
* Lukas Ketner, artist of Witchdoctor (self-published)
* Christian Slade, artist of Korgi (Top Shelf)

The winner will be announced I believe during the Eisner Awards ceremony, the Friday of Comic-Con International.
