Baltimore Comicon News: Harvey Ballots to Close, Exclusive Lone Justice Cover
Attendees of this year’s Baltimore Comic Con are privy to a pair of treats like no other. First off, Mark Wheatley and Robert Tinnell’s pulpy masterpiece, Lone Justice, will be on sale, with a special exclusive cover and signature plate for the con. Mark, Robert, and editor Mike Gold will be on hand to lend their John Hancock’s to the fifty limited edition copies that will be on hand. Make sure you’re one of the lucky ones to get a hold of this special book!
For those of you who know Lone Justice, know it’s prequel of course, EZ Street. But did you know EZ Street was itself a Harvey nominated Graphic Novel? Speaking of the Harveys (how’s that for a segue, ma!), this years award ballots are due Saturday, August 7th. The Harvey Awards will be unveiled Saturday, August 28th, at a banquet at the Baltimore Comic Con. This is the awards fifth year, hosted this time by webcomic creator extraordinaire Scott Kurtz, who’s really pushing for an award this year.
Final ballots are available online here. The final nominees for this year include JH Williams III, Frank Quitely, Guy Davis, Robert Crumb, Mark Waid, Robert Kirkman, Geoff Johns, and more. For a complete list of the nominees, simply click the link above, to go the Harvey Awards site directly.
We’ll see you in Baltimore!
Marc, thanks for the shout-out on LONE JUSTICE. But I really should point out that this limited Baltimore edition will feature the exact same cover as the regular edition. But there will be a special, illustrated, signing plate in the book, available no where else. And I think the confusion over the cover is simple – the one we are showing is not the one you see in Diamond Previews. And the reason for that is – I decided after the Previews deadline to do the cover over. Yes – I am insane.
