Fables is nominated for three more Eisner awards
The award-winning Fables series was nominated for three 2005
Eisner Awards (for work produced in 2004), in the following categories: Best
Serialized Story, for the March of the Wooden Soldiers; Best Writer, Bill
Willingham; and Best Cover Artist, James Jean. Fables Letterer Todd Klein
was also nominated for Best Lettering, but he works on so many projects
throughout the year, it can't properly be claimed that this is also a Fables
nomination.
The Eisner Awards are named after veteran cartoonist, Will Eisner, who
passed away earlier this year. In past years Will personally handed out
every award to every recipient. The Eisner Awards are considered by many
to be "the Oscars" of the comic book industry.
In the past Fables won three Eisner Awards for Best New Series and Best
Serialized Story, Legends in Exile, both in 2003, and for Best Cover Artist,
James Jean, in 2004.
