Harvey Award 2012: i nominati

Le candidature per gli Harvey Awards 2012 sono state annunciate sul sito ufficiale del premio.

Quest'anno, tra le generaliste s'impone la Marvel con ben 23 candidature, di cui 7 per il titolo rivelazione del 2011: Daredevil, apprezzato anche qui su Comicus.

Secondo il comunicato stampa, l’Harvey Award, creato in onore dell’artista e fondatore della rivista "Mad" Harvey Kurtzman, è l’unico premio in cui i nominati sono scelti e votati da professionisti dell’industria dei fumetti di ogni settore.

Il termine ultimo per eleggere i vincitori è il 17 agosto, mentre la premiazione, che avrà luogo al Baltimora Comic-Con, è prevista per l’8 settembre.
