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 seventh 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, Hayao Miyazaki, Gail Simone, Alex Ross, Neal Adams, and Louise Simonson 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 October 28 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.
