2021 Eisner Award Winners Include Black Widow, Jimmy Olsen, Usagi Yojimbo

The awards which are part of the “Best American Comics” series will be given out June 8 at the end of Comic-Con International in San Diego Among the awards given out will be the Eisner Award for best comic book (a category that includes both original stories and collections), which will be awarded to “Black Widow”, “Loose Ends” and “Usagi Yojimbo”. “Black Widow” (Marvel Entertainment) and “Loose Ends” (Dark Horse Comics) are both the creation of writer and editor Sana Amanat, and “Usagi Yojimbo” (Dark Horse) is the creation of writer and artist Stan Sakai.

The Comic-Con International schedule of events is less than a month away, and in addition to the famed San Diego con next year, there will be a new world-wide event in Philadelphia called “San Diego Comic-Con”. The convention will have a very different feel and will likely see a lot of changes, but at least the con is getting a new name. (Marvel Comics)

One of the biggest honors in the comics industry is the Eisner Awards, given out every year by the Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards Foundation.
