Eisner Award

Eisner Award

De Eisner Award is een van de belangrijkste prijzen die jaarlijks wordt gegeven in de Amerikaanse comicwereld. De prijs is vernoemd naar Will Eisner als een soort van eerbetoon aan zijn baanbrekende werk. Voor iedere prijs worden comics genomineerd door een panel van vijf personen, en hierop wordt dan gestemd door mensen uit de comicbookindustrie, en de prijs wordt uitgereikt tijdens het festival San Diego Comic-Con International in San Diego, Californië.
