2 thoughts on “2017 Eisner Spirit of Comics Award Nominees

  1. Huh. Didn’t know one of the nominees (Jesse James Comics) is only a few miles from my home. (I went pretty much cold turkey from buying comics in 2012, when my long time provider Stalking Moon lost their storefront, but I still buy an occasional tpb/collection.)

  2. I’ve been to Illusive, but only when they were at the old location. I’ve been friends with Anna for some time, and she works her butt off to make her store welcoming to all.
