The Eisner Awards

The Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards, commonly shortened to the Eisner Awards, are prizes given for creative achievement in American comic books, sometimes referred to as the comics industry's equivalent of the Academy Awards. They are named in honor of the pioneering writer and artist Will Eisner.

The nominations in each category are generated by a five to six member jury, then voted on by comic book professionals and presented at the annual San Diego Comic-Con held in July
