| | Scenes From San Diego Comic-Con 2005 The A.V. Club |
| | Comic-Con is also home to the Eisner Awards, which this year unveiled the new Bill Finger Award For Excellence In Comic Book Writing. | | | Proms are also occasions to reflect on the passing of time, and that spirit dominated the Eisner Awards, the first since the death of their namesake, Spirit creator and graphic-novel pioneer Will Eisner. | | | More specifically, the award, created with the help of early Batman artist and creators'-rights lobbyist Jerry Robinson, is designed to annually honor two comic-book writers—one living and one dead—who didn't get their due in their time. |

| | Up to now, the major comics awards have been named for the most important creator in comics history, Jack Kirby, and, when that award fell apart, two of the most influential writer/artists, Kurtzman and Will Eisner. | | | Recognition to Finger aside, naming such an award after him does not set a very high bar for the art of comics writing. | | | Newsarama has a piece on a new award for lifetime achievment in comics writing named after long-neglected Batman writer Bill Finger. |

| | Alter Ego Vol. 2 No. 3 - Batmania article by Bill Schelly - Comic Book Artist #3 - TwoMorrows Publishing |
| | Comic Book Artist, Eisner Award winner for "Best Comics-Related Magazine", celebrates the lives and works of great cartoonists, writers and editors from all eras through in-depth interviews, feature articles, and unpublished art. | | | In July 1964, Bill J. "Biljo" White launched the first fanzine devoted exclusively to one costumed character, coining the term Batmania for its title-no doubt inspired by the Beatlemania that had swept the U.S. earlier in the year. | | | During the 1960s the cover was ripped off this myth, and it became known that a whole platoon of writers and artists had toiled to produce those memorable tales, and no one had done more for the character of Batman than scripter Bill Finger. |

| | "I have been, and continue to be an ardent admirer of Osamu Tezuka, so I am especially pleased to have a chance to study his brilliant storytelling and narrative art that rises above the casual style of Tezuka's imitators." Will Eisner | | | A genuine intellectual, deeply familiar with Western culture from the Bible to Goethe to Hollywood, Tezuka originally intended to become a doctor and received an M.D. Had he not turned to the belittled art of manga storytelling, the medium may never have acquired its capacity for seriousness and depth. | | | Philosophical segments are threaded into interpersonal situations with ground-breaking visual dynamism by an artist who makes sure never to lose his readers' attention. |

| | About the only award I haven't presented to Will is the one given in my corner of the cultural shtetl for the past dozen years or so: the prestigious Will Eisner Award for Achievement in Comics (that's because those are given out in San Diego and they'd have to spring for a plane ticket).... | | | So, thanks to Will Eisner, I have a career: a career as a comics artist in an industry he pioneered, as a storyteller combining words and pictures with a grammar he helped construct but mainly a career as a guy who introduces Will Eisner when he's given awards. | | | In any case, Will Eisner has been the recipient of the Will Eisner Award at least three or four times and has even — like me — been inducted into the Will Eisner Hall of Fame. |
