2020 Eisner Hall of Fame nominees announced

Comic-Con International has announced this year’s nominees for the Eisner Hall of Fame. They include two judges’ choices — who will be automatically inducted — and 14 other nominees, four of whom will be inducted based on voters’ choices.

The judges’ choices are Nell Brinkley and E. Simms Campbell, both of whom worked in the magazine industry. Brinkley, a.k.a. the “Queen of Comics,” created comics and illustrations for many Hearst newspapers, including the Denver Post and the New York Journal-America. She became well-known for her “Brinkley Girl” illustrations circa 1913 through the 1940s. Campbell, meanwhile, helped define the visual style of Esquire magazine and created comics for it, Life, Cosmopolitan and Playboy during his career. He was the first African-American cartoonist published in nationally distributed slick magazines.

The 14 nominees that voters will choose from include:

Alison Bechdel

Howard Cruse

Moto Hagio

Don Heck

Jeffrey Catherine Jones

Francoise Mouly

Keiji Nakazawa

Thomas Nast

Lily Renée Wilhelm Peters Phillips

Stan Sakai

Louise Simonson
