harveyCari visitatori del Baltimore Comic-Con nel Maryland, benvenuti alla 27a edizione degli Harvey Awards, i premi che celebrano l'eccellenza nel fumetto sin dal 1988. Prendete posto e preparatevi a scoprire chi nell'anno appena trascorso ha meritato l'ambito riconoscimento che deve il suo nome al grande Harvey Kurtzman. Una delle novità di quest'anno è l'introduzione della Harvey Kurtzman Hall of Fame, onorificenza che, come sappiamo, prima di chiunque altro spetta al compianto creatore dei Peanuts, Charles Schulz.

E ora vediamo, tra tutte le nomination, chi l'ha spuntata. Vi anticipiamo che le sorprese non sono poi molte: Saga di Brian K. Vaughan e Fiona Staples si conferma come serie più apprezzata da pubblico e critica (quattro premi) mentre Hawkeye di Matt Fraction, David Aja e Annie Wu, quella che a breve sarà più rimpianta (miglior storia singola, Pizza is My Business). Exploit per Sex Criminals, ancora di Fraction, che incassa due premi, come pure la graphic novel Il quinto Beatle, pubblicata in Italia da Panini/9L. La Marvel porta a casa anche un Harvey per il lavoro di Wade Von Grawbadger sulle chine di All-New X-Men, mentre la DC/Vertigo resta a bocca asciutta. Ecco l'elenco completo dei premiati:
