MORLOCKONFIDENCIAL: GANADORES DE LOS PREMIOS EISNER 2018

Pues no ha podido ser. Un año más la Comic-Con de San Diego servía de marco para la entrega de los prestigiosos Eisner Awards. Y pese a contar este año con ocho autores españoles entre los nominados, como ya os contamos, ninguno de ellos se podido hacer con el galardón. Pero llegar a la nominación a los Premios Eisner ya es en sí mismo un gran reconocimiento, y estamos seguros de que esto es solo el comienzo de una tendencia. Así que desde aquí queremos felicitar a todos, nominados y ganadores.
