The nominees for the 2008 Eisner Awards have been listed. It’s pretty damned pack with talent in all aspects of the comic industry. Included are some who are well overdue for their kudos, in particular ZMP fave Barry Windsor-Smith, who is up for a nomination into the Hall of Fame. Long overdue in our opinion.
Some other ZMP favorites nominated are:
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season 8, by Joss Whedon, Brian K. Vaughan, Georges Jeanty, and Andy Owens for Best Continuing Series and Best New Series. Also for Joss Whedon and Brian K. Vaughan, Buffy the Vampire Slayer for Best Writer.
Y: The Last Man, by Brian K. Vaughan, Pia Guerra, and Jose Marzan, Jr. for Best Continuing Series.
And ZMP’s all time favorite comic of all, The Goon has another strong representation…
Dwight T. Albatross’s The Goon Noir, edited by Matt Dryer for Best Humor Publication, and Eric Powell, The Goon for Best Writer/Artist—Humor… and Eric Powell, The Goon: Chinatown for Best Painter or Multimedia Artist (interior art).
Congratulations to all the nominees!
