I går blev årets Harvey Awards uddelt ved en ceremoni på Baltimore Comic-Con. Forfatter Mark Waid og serieskaber Kate Beaton blev aftenens store prisslugere.
The Harvey Awards er opkaldt efter MAD Magazine-grundlægger Harvey Kurtzman og er én af USAs to store tegneseriepriser – den anden er The Eisner Awards.
Hvert år hædres en lang række tegneseriekapaciteter i et væld af kategorier, fra tegnere og forfattere til tekstere og farvelæggere, og den samlede liste over årets nominerede og vindere (med fed) ser sådan ud:
