Estate, tempo di premi per il fumetto americano. Se all’ormai prossimo San Diego Comic-Con di fine luglio saranno assegnati gli Eisner Awards, a Baltimora, il 3 settembre, verranno invece consegnati gli altrettanto prestigiosi Harvey Awards, dedicati alla memoria di Harvey Kurtzman. Nella notte sono state intanto rese note le nomination del premio, giunto alla ventinovesima edizione, tra le quali saranno eletti i vincitori. La votazione si terrà online fino all’8 agosto e sarà aperta a tutti i professionisti del fumetto americano.
Dopo l’immagine, tutte le nomination, divise per categorie.
