says. “It contains numerous titles that have garnered acclaim, as
well as titles that some felt were overlooked and deserving. I’ve
always felt that all comics professionals have a civic duty to vote
for the Eisners and the Harveys annually. If someone does work
that inspires you, why not give them some recognition for it?
Comics are a labor of love for most professionals in this industry,
and that recognition goes a long way.” ■40 PUBLISHERS WEEKLY ■ SEPTEMBER 9, 2019
