The Harvey Awards Committee today announced the nominees for the 2001 Harvey Awards, recognizing, “outstanding achievements in the comic book field during the past year.”

The nominee list (based on comics publications which shipped during the calendar year 2001) has been compiled by tallying nominating votes from ballots mailed to over 2,000 industry writers, artists, editors, and other professionals involved in the creative aspects of the comics industry.

Harvey Award winners will be selected the industry's creative community through a Final Ballot. According to the Awards Committee, the Harvey is the only industry award where both the nominees and winners are selected by the entire body of comic book professionals.

This year's recipients will be honored at the 15th Annual Harvey Awards Banquet on Friday, April 26th (8:00 PM) at the Pittsburgh Comicon. Evan Dorkin, the creator of Milk & Cheese, Eltingville and Dork! will be the evening's Master of Ceremonies for the third consecutive year. Tony Millionaire, creator of Maakies and Sock Monkey, will deliver the keynote address. Dorkin and Millionaire have each received Harvey nominations and awards in past years.

The Harvey Awards Committee is comprised of Dave Bissel, Anthony Bozzi, Denis Kitchen (chairman), Nellie Kurtzman, Paul McSpadden (administrator), Jim Titus and Scott Todd.
