It’s the annual Eisner Awards, as presented at San Diego Comic-Con by the great and the good, to the great and the good. First-time nominee Zoe Thorogood has had six nominations, Thomas Woodruff has withdrawn after controversy and Bex Ollerton has been crowdfunded to attend, with Mark Waid dropping $250 to help her to the show. And here I am, stuck in London. Nevertheless, I will be updating this list of nominations through the night as winners are declared. Good luck to all! The winner will be bolded in the list of nominees.
