British Comic Creators among 2018 Mike Wieringo Comic Book Industry Awards nominees

Mike Wieringo - Ringo Awards LogoThe 2018 Mike Wieringo Comic Book Industry Awards Nominees were recently announced, along with the release of the final ballot, and include a number of British creators.

Michael Lance “Mike” Wieringo was known to fans and friends as “Ringo”, which is how he signed his artwork. His work graced the pages of DC Comics’ The Flash, Adventures of Superman, Batman, and Robin, Marvel Comics’ Fantastic Four, Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, Sensational Spider-Man and Rogue, and his co-creation Tellos. He passed away on 12th August 2007 at the young age of 44 from an apparent heart attack.

The Mike Wieringo Comic Book Industry Awards – which will be presented at the Ringo Awards Banquet and Ceremony in conjunction with the 2018 Baltimore Comic-Con on Saturday 29th September – is an annual celebration of the creativity, skill and fun of comics. The Awards recognise outstanding achievements in over 20 categories, and are the only industry awards nominated by fans and pros alike, with final voting by the comic professional community.

Voting on the 2018 Ringo Awards Final Ballot is now open at www.ringoawards.com, but it’s restricted to the comic book industry creative community — anyone involved in and credited with creating comics professionally.

• Final ballots can be submitted directly or via the website, and voting will close on 31st August 2018.
