MW and Apollo's Song nominated for Eisner Awards

[pomocho]

Good news for Vertical! Their ongoing love affair with the Eisner Awards -- who continually lavish their Tezuka publications with various awards and accolades -- continues into 2008. The Eisners have once again nominated a pair of recent books from this company. MW was nominated for Best US Edition of International Material--Japan and Apollo's Song is up for Best Archival Collection/Project. Hopefully, this will provide just one extra step toward mainstreaming Tezuka in the west and ensuring more awesome manga publications from Vertical.

So if you know anybody who works for Vertical, give them a hug.

Awesome!

It's great that the American comics-reading public is starting to learn what Japan has known for decades.
