Tony Trov, Johnny Zito & Christine Larson: Nominated for Best Online Comic Work in the Harvey Awards!

Johnny Zito & Tony Trov

The Harvey Awards are held annually at the Baltimore Comic Con (August 20th-21st) and have been going strong since 1988. Honoring outstanding achievements in comics in more than 20 categories, this year’s nominations tout 4 Philly locals vying for the respected award.

Nominated for Best Online Comic Work are Geekadelphia’s dear pals Tony Trov, Johnny Zito and Christine Larson. Their edgy comic LaMorte Sisters garnered a lot of buzz at Zuda and now subsequently Comixology and has earned them a nomination alongside such big names as Scott Kurtz and his infamous series PVP (Kurtz also happens to be the Harvey Awards Master of Cermonies for the award presentation!).

Also local to Philadelphia and nominated is indie comic god Charles Burns for his work on X’ed Out. His nom is in the “Best Original Graphic Novel” category and this GN seems a bit of an artistic departure from the woodcut style that Burns popularized with his seminal work, Black Hole.

Voting is open to those professionally involved in the any facet of comics, so if you fall into that category then get thee over to the Harvey Awards web site and place your vote for Philly’s own!

The awards will be held on August 20th and while you may not be able to vote, the dinner and presentation is open to all fans of comics.
