Harvey Awards anuncia indicados a melhores quadrinhos dos EUA em 2006

Maakies

O Harvey Awards, o segundo prêmio mais importante dos quadrinhos nos EUA, anunciou esta semana sua lista de candidatos, em diversas categorias.

Concorrem os destaques de 2006. O vencedor de cada categoria é selecionado através dos votos de mais de 2 mil profissionais da indústria de quadrinhos do país.

Este ano, é bastante notável entre os candidatos a grande presença dos quadrinhos Disney, que têm baixíssima penetração no mercado norte-americano. Apesar disso, os trabalhos de Don Rosa e William Van Horn com Tio Patinhas e o resto da família pato renderam nada menos que 14 nomeações.

Os prêmios serão divulgados em 8 de setembro, durante a Baltimore Comic Con.
