Eisner Awards 2013, candidati

Siamo a metà Aprile, al Comic-Con di San Diego mancano ancora 3 mesi, ma proprio per questo siamo arrivati al momento cruciale, quello che gli artisti aspettano con più ansia, ovvero la pubblicazione delle nominations per gli Eisner Awards. I premi più ambiti in campo fumettistico occidentale saranno consegnati durante la solita cerimonia che, quest’anno, si terrà il 19 luglio, ma da ieri abbiamo finalmente la lista di tutti i contendenti alle vittorie finali.

Quest’anno il progetto compie 25 anni e sarà di sicuro molto interessante essere lì…. 

So che sembrerà una enorme lista della spesa, ma di seguito potrete trovare nomi di artisti, opere  e premi (per cui concorrono), iniziando a farvi già da adesso un’idea sul trend di questo 2013. In più, visto che sono buono vi dico anche chi sarà la giuria “di qualità“:

• Michael Cavna;
  
• Charles Hatfield;
• Adam Healy;
• Dr. Katie Monnin;
• Frank Santoro;
• John Smith;

Qui potete trovare maggiori informazioni su di loro

Ad ogni modo ho detto già troppo, chiunque non conosca l’argomento a riguardo potrà trovare notizie qui, per tutti gli altri, buona “sbirciata”.
