Premios Eisner 2010

Hace unas semanas ya avanzábamos algún rumor sobre los premios Eisner 2010 (rumor confirmado a medias, por cierto), así que ya iba siendo hora de que se confirmara la (extensísima) lista de nominados que optan a las mil y una categorías concernientes a la cosecha comiquera del año pasado. Tampoco es que hayan demasiadas sorpresas, por lo que puede afirmarse que «son todos los que están» (o que «están todos los que son», nunca me aclaro con esto). La cuestión es que la categoría más ansiada, la de «Mejor Artista Completo» se demuestra más que acertada en sus dos sección. En «Ficción» están Darwyn Cooke (por «Richard Stark’s Parker: The Hunter«), Robert Crumb («Genesis«), David Mazzuccheilli («Asterios Polyp«), Terry Moore («Echo«) y Naoki Urasawa («20th Century Boys» y «Pluto«). En «No Ficción» concursan Reinhard Kleist (por «Johnny Cash: I See a Darkness»), Willy Linthout («Years of the Elephant«), Joe Sacco («Footnotes in Gaza«), David Small («Stitches«, en la foto) y Carol Tyler («You’ll Never Know: A Good and Decent Man«). También hay que tener en cuenta la ansiadísima categoría de «Mejor Álbum«, donde figuran «Asterios Polyp» (de D. Mazzuccheilli), «Barrio Lejano» (de Jiro Taniguchi), «Génesis» (de R. Crumb), «My mommy is in America and she met Buffalo Bill» (de Jean Regnaud y Émile Bravo), «The Photographer» (de Emmanuel Guibert, Didier Lefèvre y Frédéric Lemerier) y «Parker: The Hunter, adapted by Darwyn Cooke» (de Richard Stark). Si alguien se pregunta si hay algún español al que felicitar tendremos que entonar un rotundo: SÍ. Preparemos las palabras de alegría para Jesús Saiz, Ken Niimura y Salvador Larroca, además de la editorial Ponent Mon. A continuación, la lista completa de nominados…
