By Epic Dope Staff | June 10, 2021
Will Eisner Comic Industry Award is probably the highest level honor that a comic book or creator can receive for their work.
Junji Ito, who wrote the brilliant horror comic Remina (Jigokusei Remina), got nominated for the Will Eisner Award category of The Best Writer/Artist.
I Don't Know How To Give Birth comic essay was nominated in the 'Best Graphic Memoir' category.
It's really nice to see Western media finally recognizing and giving credit to Asian artists where it's due.
Things like these motivate all kinds of artists to come forward with their work, and it also breeds creativity in others.
After all, the artists kept us from going out of our minds during the whole pandemic situation anyway!
