NEWSARAMA - 2006 EISNER JUDGES NAMED
Turns out one of the Eisner judges for 2006 is the owner of the comic shop I go to regularly. Robert (as in Robert Scott of Comickaze) is a sharp guy, and we don't always agree on stuff, but he certainly deserves congratulations for the accolade, and the solemn duty that he goes forth to perform.
Okay, that last part was laying it on a tad thick...
Heck, turns out that I know two Eisner judges, though it seems like I only chat with Chris (Allen of Comic Book Galaxy) during SDCC itself.
Congrats to Chris and the rest of the judges as well. Go take a peek at their bios at the link above.
