[Qomentar] Nagrade Eisner 2005.
Namjeravao sam, zbilja sam namjeravao prokomentirati svaku od nagrada, ali sam tada shvatio da postoji samo jedna potrebna, kratka i neizbježna opaska: od svih imena koje je američka industrija (kakva je, takva je) odlučila nagraditi, na našim je prostorima poznat samo Dave Gibbons (i to po ranom radu na "Herojima Harlema" u Laseru), te nekolicina uvrštenih u Dvoranu slavnih (ili mrtvi ili penzioneri). Eto, toliki je raskorak između američke industrije (kakve-takve) i nas.(mcn) Popis nagrađenih preuzet je s Newsarame.
