British creators and publishers among Nominees announced for 2022 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards

By on

Monsters by Barry Windsor-Smith

San Diego Comic-Con has announced the nominees for the Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards 2022.

British nominees include writer-artist Barry Windsor-Smith, for his powerful graphic novel, Monsters; writer Al Ewing, for his work with others on Immortal Hulk; artist Sean Phillips, with Ed Brubaker, for Destroy All Monsters; John Bolton, for his work on Hell’s Flaw; Jacob Phillips, for his colouring work on Destroy All Monsters, Friend of the Devil; and artist Jock, for his work on the digital title, Snow Angels, with Jeff Lemire.

The Lakes International Comic Art Festival (LICAF), with Fanfare Presents, have received a joint nomination for My Only Child, by Ning WANG with art by Ni Shaoru, Wu Yao, Xu Ziran and Qin Chang, edited by Wang Saili, translated by Emma Massara, in the category, “Best Anthology”.

“I am beyond words of joy, and this is the first time I am close to the Eisner Award,” commented Ning WANG, also known as WANG Ning, scriptwriter at Beijing Total Vision Culture Spreads CO., Ltd. “It encouragement, and gives me the confidence to create more graphic novels.”

“I know how personal the stories in this anthology are to Wang Ning, so I am delighted that his first venture in English has received this accolade from the Eisner Awards 2022 judges,” commented co-publisher Stephen Robson at Fanfare of their nomination for My Only Child, a powerful reflection on China’s now abandoned one child policy that was in place for decades. “All our digits are firmly crossed!”

My Only Child by Wang Ning

My Only Child is an anthology of four graphic short stories about the personal, familial and social impact of China’s One-Child Policy. Chinese author, editor, agent and promoter WANG Ning, established the Beijing Total Vision Culture Spreads in 2004, and was the earliest comic book agent in China to cooperate with European and American publishing companies. He has exported more than 170 original Chinese comics copyrights from more than 90 Chinese authors to European and American countries. You can read an interview with him here, conducted by Paul Gravett.
