Psybolt Posted November 5, 2020 Report Share Posted November 5, 2020 Good day to everyone here at NGD! As some of you may know, I run a website called Embrace Your Geekness and at that website, we have a Hall of Fame. We do a poll every year where we at EYG nominate several items, people, characters, movies etc and the top vote getters are inducted into the EYG Hall of Fame. This is the EYG Hero Games NGD Award that we do every year (this is the fifth year for this award) How this works: I am looking for nominations from the community of NGD for the best comic book artists or comic book writers of all time. I would ask that you nominate those creators who you think have done enough work that they could be enshrined in the EYG Hall of Fame. I require that those artists/writers be nominated by one poster and seconded by another in order to make the final poll After that, I will take those nominees who have been seconded and place them into a poll. The top three creators in vote total will be inducted under the "Hero Games Forum NGD Award". We do have a few comic creators already in the EYG Hall of Fame. Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, Will Eisner, Osamu Tezuka, George Perez, Kurt Busiek, Chris Claremont, Neil Gaiman, Bill Finger, Bob Kane, Shuster & Seigel, Sergio Aragones, Carmine Infantino, Walt Simonson, John Romita Sr., Marv Wolfman, Marie Severin, Roy Thomas, Steve Gerber, Joe Kubert, John Byrne, Mark Gruenwald, and Peter David are already members of the EYG Hall of Fame so I will not take any nominations for them. I am going to open the nomination and seconding process up and will allow it to run until November 19 at 8 PM Eastern. I will then put up a poll for the NGD to vote for the nominees. I appreciate your involvement in this process. The Non-Gaming Discussion board has always been an awesome place with some wonderful people. I have enjoyed my time here. That is why I wanted to get the input from you for this award for the EYG Hall of Fame, which is something that I have really been proud of doing for all these years. Thank you for your time and consideration in this process. Oh, by the way... please only nominate those individuals who made their fame in the realm of comic books, not comic strips.

Michael Hopcroft Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 I would nominate two manga luminaries, because that is what I know best: Leiji Matsumoto is a pioneer of space fantasy manga. He is best known in America as the creator of Space Battleship Yamato, better known to American TV audiences as Star Blazers. But he was also responsible for creating the iconic Captain Harlock, as well as for the pre-transhumanist space adventure Galaxy Express 999. His use of sweeping, tragic themes and his take on the nature of heroism was hugely influential on the space and mecha genres in anime. Rumiko Takahashi is the creator of the global sensations Ranma 1/2 and Inuyasha as well as the wild comedy Urusei Yatsura ("Those Obnoxious Aliens"), which was virtually the model for both Ben Dunn's amerimanga Ninja High School and for the RPG Teenagers from Outer Space. She also wrote the horror series Mermaid Forest and the domestic romance/comedy Maison Ikkoku. Takahashi's work was instrumental in introducing much of America to manga and anime.

Certified Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 Let's go ahead and second Alan Moore. Came here to mention Gail Simone, if for her Twitter feed alone, but that was already taken care of. Also, I would ask that Warren Ellis not be included this year if nominated, due to outstanding issues on conduct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
