Marvel Comics Creators Nominated for 2021 Eisner Awards
In an article posted on Tuesday, June 8th, 2021, the official Marvel Comics website highlighted the Marvel books and creators who have been honored with nominations for the 2021 Eisner Awards! And pardon my pun, but each creator is marvelous (although more women on the list would be nice, but that’s not Marvel’s fault).

The Eisners
The Eisners are an annual award that honors excellence in the comic book industry. Typically, the ceremony is held at the San Diego Convention Center during the San Diego Comic-Con each year, but because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 Awards and the 2021 Awards are being held virtually.

The nominations are put together by a team of judges, but the awards themselves are the result of voting by qualified individuals within the industry.
If you think you might qualify to vote, you can register to vote here (and qualified voters should also remember that my wife, Avery Kaplan, contributed several pieces to one of the nominees for “Best Comics Related Journalism/Periodical,” the jaw-droppingly gorgeous PanelxPanel magazine).
