For ganske kort tid siden blev USAs anden store tegneseriepris, The Harvey Awards, uddelt ved årets Baltimore Comic-Con. Forlaget IDW høstede et par priser for deres fornemme genudgivelse af Dave Stevens’ Rocketeer, mens Darwyn Cooke, den elegante fortolker af Richard Starks Parker, tog prisen som både Best Artist og Best Cartoonist.
I kategorierne Best Original Graphic Album og Best Single Issue or Story var værker af amerikanske sværvægtere som Chris Ware, Jaime Hernandez og Daniel Clowes nomineret, men det blev henholdsvis canadiske Bryan Lee O’Malleys sidste bind om Scott Pilgrim og det brasilianske makkerpar Fabio Moon og Gabiel Bas Day Tripper, der løb med priserne.
