Last week I received notification in my Facebook account from Charles Edward Sellner, that Visionary Studios would be attending the Baltimore Comic Con. That reminded me that I had not blogged about the Harvey Awards that would be presented at that Con.... 

The Harvey Awards were named in honor of the late Harvey Kurtzman. He was one of the industry's most innovative talents, of whom I have blogged about before.

The Harveys recognize outstanding achievements in over 20 categories in comics and sequential art, ranging from Best Artist to the Jack Kirby Hall of Fame.

They are the only industry awards both nominated by and selected by the full body of comic book professionals.

The following were the receipients of the 2008 Harvey Awards:

Best Letterer – Chris Eliopoulos, Daredevil

The above are mentioned here so you can check out their works if you already haven't!

Are You A Fan Of The

 Harvey

Cartoons & Comics?

I so often blog about Superheroes, HoRRoR & MoNSTer comics and magazines and movies, that I sometimes neglect to blog about other genres of comics!

I recently became 'Facebook Friends' with Mark Arnold, who is the Editor of the ongoing Harveyville Fun Times, which just released issue #70 this past July 2008!

I received an "invitation" from Mark yesterday to see the Harvey Art Show at the San Francisco's Cartoon Art Museum which is showing now through November 2008.

The show will then move to the MoCCA in New York in December and later to the Toonseum in Pittsburgh in mid-2009.

The projected ending of the show is at Geppi's Entertainment Museum in Baltimore in 2010.

Unfortunately, Tina and I won't be near San Francisco during that time period, and then the show journeys Eastward, even further from us!

So, I guess we'll have to make do with viewing pics from the Harvey Art Show Opening Reception that Mark has added to his 'Fun Ideas Productions' group on Facebook!

For those that haven't seen an issue of Harveyville Fun Times, this could be a chance to check out "The Best Of Harveyville Fun Times" in softcover format!

The softcover format was edited by Mark Arnold, with a foreword by writer Tony Isabella.

I believe that this is the first major book on Harvey Comics' history published!

For more info on this publication, please see the next column for the photo of the cover and what the book contains. The 400 page book can be found for approx $29.99 plus shipping.

Comic Conventions Season Over?

Not Quite!

I have blogged about several comic book conventions and shows this year.

You would think that the Comic Book Convention Season would be ending soon! Well... You would be mistaken!

I have recently joined 'Facebook' and this week alone, I've been invited to attend 9 upcoming shows, fairs, tapings and cons!

Not that my wife and I can attend all of them, but the invites include the following:

Comics on Comics Taping at the West Hollywood Book Fair! - Sunday September 28th, 2008 only. See  poster & info at the top of the next column.
