Nominated for an Eisner Award!
April 9th, 2010 by Jim Clark
The Guns of Shadow Valley — the webcomic I write with Dave Wachter — was nominated for an Eisner Award for Best Digital Comic!!
For those of you who may not know, the Eisners are the premier awards for the comic book industry. The Eisners are literally the “Oscars” of the comic book industry. It’s a very big deal to be nominated. Of the hundreds of thousands of webcomics and other digitally distributed comics available, only FIVE are accepted as nominations.
I’m incredibly overwhelmed, thrilled and overjoyed at the nomination. This is huge for me and Dave. I hardly know what to write. Dave did a fantastic job of summing up how he feels in a post he made over on the Shadow Valley website and I echo a lot of the sentiments he expressed there. I encourage you to read it — he sums up it up very well, much moreso than I am capable of right now. Plus he tells the origin story of how we started The Guns of Shadow Valley and what this journey means to us.
I’m honored to have our project included alongside the other nominees. I’m a fan of all of the other webcomics nominated in our category and it blows my mind to be in the same playing field. They’re all amazing.
Here’s the complete list of nominees for the 2010 Eisner Awards.
