Eisner awards

[Torsten Wesley Adair]

This is from the comics-l distribution list.

For those of you who do not know, the San Diego Comic Convention is one of the
largest comic book conventions in the United States (and probably the
world).  Each year, the Eisner Awards are presented (named for Will Eisner,
the creator of the Spirit, and one of the best comic book talents on this
planet).
