Psybolt Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 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 sixth 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, William Moulton Marston, Mark Gruenwald, Peter David, Jim Shooter, Alan Moore and Gail Simone 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 13 at 6 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.

Pariah Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 J. Michael Straczynski wrote a lot of interesting and influential comic book material, although he is arguably more famous for that TV project that he worked on back in the 90s. Is he eligible for nomination? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjack Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 I think Alex Ross should be on that list. Marvels, Kingdom Come, Astro City? That’s Hall of Fame stuff if ever there was some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psybolt Posted November 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2021 Thanks Todd for joining in. Todd is a fiend of mine, a retired former teacher who knows more about comics than anyone I know. He works at my local comic shop. I will second Curt Swan and Jim Aparo because Todd suggested them. I also want to nominate Gene Colon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattingly Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 Ditko felt that actions speak louder than words (a la objectivism), and that verbal apologies were meaningless without a change in behavior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 I am at something of a disadvantage here. I was reading comic books fairly regularly in the '80s, but then stopped when I took a two-year religious sabbatical. When I came back in the early 90s I started reading again, but found it was no longer to my liking. Iron Age, Liefeld, Wolverines on every team, red and blue Supermen, and all that. I've never really picked up comic books again since then. Even when I was reading regularly, I wasn't great with names. I can tell you who most of the keyboard players in Yes have been (which is not a trivial undertaking, mind you), but I can't tell you who was writing the X-Men in 1985.
