The  2021 Mike Wieringo Comic Book Industry Awards winners were revealed in a virtual ceremony during the Baltimore Comic-Con on October 23.

The Ringo Awards are picked by a vote of the comic book industry creative community — anyone involved in and credited with creating comics professionally.

The Fan-Only Favorites voted by the public, the Hero Initiative Lifetime Achievement Award, the Spirit Award, and the Dick Giordano Humanitarian Award were also presented at the Mike Wieringo Comic Book Industry Awards ceremony as part of The Baltimore Comic-Con.
