I've talked with several friends, legit pros and even Eisner-winners, who were not registered to vote and had to apply…AND a lot of eligible folks haven't even heard this is an issue. The deadline is the day after tomorrow, so do it right now. (If you got the email below then you ARE registered lol)

🚨COMICS PROS🚨 🚨PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT🚨 The Eisners Awards purged their voter rolls this year and now you have to APPLY TO VOTE. For some reason they only sent this notice to voters already registered. 🤔 🚨YOU ONLY HAVE UNTIL NOMINEES ARE ANNOUNCED🚨 APPLY HERE: t.e2ma.net/click/hgj4fn...

NEW IN 2026!

This year, all prospective Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards voters will have to apply to be considered to vote before the nominees are announced. Please note that this is a change to previous years. No new applications will be processed once nominees are announced.

Online voting will be available to professionals in the comics industry, including creators, editors, publishers, distributors, and retailers.

Those who were invited to vote for the 2026 Hall of Fame are already eligible to vote for the Eisner Awards and do not need to re-register to vote.

To ensure that all eligible voters are aware of this change, an email is being sent to all currently registered voters today, April 28, 2026. If you do not receive this email, you are not registered to vote, so please apply prior to the deadline of May 13, 2026.

The link to apply to vote is Here [hyperlink in the original email]

Voting applications will close on May 13, 2026.

This email confirms that you are already approved to vote

It had been a couple weeks since I’d started the ‘51, but she rumbled to life and for a few minutes, I was with my Dad again, smelling his garage, and my childhood. As I walked back to the house, the first drops of rain changed the asphalt’s scent in another miraculous instant. I needed both.

Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs. Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026. This is what corporate greed looks like.

Saddened to learn of the passing of the great #GaryKelley —a huge inspiration for me. We own two of his pieces—this is one, called “The Three Mikes”. His shapes, textures, compositions, and mood are always lingering in the back of my artist brain. Warm thoughts to his family, friends, and fans. #
