Nominees have been announced for the 2021 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards! Congratulations to all the nominees, but especially to my fellow teammates on DC’s The Other History of the DC Universe and Image Comic’s Gideon Falls.
The Other History of the DC Universe #1 has been nominated for Best Single Issue (DC).
Gideon Falls has been nominated for Best Continuing Series (Image).
If that wasn’t cool enough, Jeff Lemire, and Dave Stewart are both up for Best Writer and Best Colorist, respectively. Andrea and myself were not nominated for our work individually on Gideon Falls, but that’s okay we’re not taking it personally. If you’re eligible to vote, please consider casting your vote for Jeff, Dave, Gideon Falls, and The Other History of the DC Universe.
