The 2012 Harvey Award Nominees

July 10, 2012 by Katherine Dacey   Leave a Comment

Last week, the Executive Committee of the Harvey Awards announced their 2012 nominees. Kid-friendly comics made a strong showing, with nominations in categories as diverse as Best Letterer, Best Online Comics Work, Best New Series, and Best Cartoonist. Like the Eisner Awards, the Harveys include a separate category acknowledging the “best graphic publication for younger readers.” There’s some overlap between this year’s Eisner and Harvey nominees — everyone seems to like Anya’s Ghost and Snarked — but what’s striking is how different the two committees’ lists turned out to be.

Below is a quick run-down of all the creators who were nominated for their work on kids’ and teens’ comics. The winners will be revealed on September 8, 2012 at Baltimore Comic-Con.
