Acostumados a figurar em várias categorias no Eisner Awards, o Oscar dos quadrinhos, o Brasil este teve apenas um nome na lista – mas bem representado: a colorista Chris Peter, que trabalha nos novos volume de Casanova. Entre os destaques este ano temos a série Daredevil, que ganhou bastante repercussão nos EUA e lovou seis indicações (incluindo seu escritor, Mark Waid).
Entre as mudanças feitas pela organização estão a retirada de algumas categorias, como “melhor nova série” e a divisão dos indicados para as obras infantis. A premiação acontece durante a San Diego Comic Con, dia 13 de julho. Veja a lista completa abaixo.
