Eisner Award

The Will Eisner Comic Industry Award is a prize given for creative achievement in American comic books. It is named in honor of the pioneering writer and artist Will Eisner, who was a regular participant in the award ceremony until his death in 2005 [ [http://www.comic-con.org/cci/cci_eisnersfaq.shtml#oscars The Eisner Award FAQ: The "Oscars" of Comics] ] , and includes the comics industry's Hall of Fame. The Eisner Award was created in response to the discontinuation of the Kirby Awards after 1987.

Each category is nominated by a five-member panel, voted on by comic-book professionals, and presented at the annual Comic-Con International convention held in San Diego, California, usually in July or August. Jackie Estrada has been the award administrator since 1990. [ [http://www.comic-con.org/cci/cci_eisnersfaq.shtml#history The Eisner Award FAQ: A Brief History] ]
