2010 Glyph Comics Awards Nominations; ‘Original Johnson’ snags 4 nominations
The Glyph Comics Awards, designed to “recognize the best in comics made
by, for, and about people of color from the preceding calendar year,”
have released the names of the comics and creators that make up their
2010 nominee slate.
We are incredibly proud that The Original Johnson
has received four nominations in the categories of Best Artist, Best Cover, Best Male Character, and Story Of The Year.
“It’s wonderful to see Trevor Von Eeden’s life-work receive such recognition,” ComicMix editor-in-chief Mike Gold said. “He’s been working on The Original Johnson for 15 years, and we’ve been working with him for the past three. It has taken an extraordinary amount of effort to produce this book, and recognition from the Glyph awards makes every drop of it worthwhile. We are proud to be associated with Trevor and this amazingly intense work. My personal thanks and gratitude to Trevor and to all of those who have been involved in the effort.”
The awards will be presented at the East Coast Black Age of Comics Convention in Philadelphia on May 14th and 15th.
