Eisner Award 2015, online le nomination

Finalmente, dopo l'annuncio di una settimana fa, ecco la lista dei fumetti, degli autori e dei disegnatori che parteciperanno agli Eisner Award 2014/2015, importantissimi riconoscimenti del settore che l'editoria americana tiene parecchio in considerazione. Scorrendo le varie categorie, scopriamo che tra i vari fumetti inseriti nelle nomination di questi Eisner Award 2014/2015 sono quattro i prodotti che spiccano più di tutti, e sono Ms. Marvel della Marvel, Multiversity della DC Comics, Saga della Image Comics e Bandette della Monkeybrain. 

La gara è ovviamente tra Marvel, DC Comics e Image Comics, ma quest'anno si vedono parecchi prodotti interessanti, tra cui spiccano The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil di Stephen Collins (pubblicato in Italia dalla Bao Publishing), Seconds di Bryan Lee O’Malley (edito in Italia dalla Rizzoli Lizard) e This One Summer di Mariko Tamaki & Jillian Tamaki (sempre edito dalla Bao Publishing). E fa sempre piacere vedere un fumetto italiano nella categoria delle migliori edizioni di prodotti internazionali sul suolo americano dove, quest'anno, la IDW Publishing ha pubblicato Corto Maltese: Under the Sign of Capricorn di Hugo Pratt. E sempre parlando di orgoglio italiano, facciamo tutti il tifo per Francesco Francavilla che, quest'anno, è in gara nella sezione Best Cover Artist!

Ma andiamo a leggere tutte le nomination di questi Eisner Award 2014/2015, ovviamente suddivise per categoria.
