The list of Eisner Award nominations came out today, and I'm on the list in the Best Single Issue category for UY 123: The Death of Lord Hikiji.
The awards will be given out at a ceremony on the Saturday of the San Diego Convention.
Here is a complete list of the nominees via Heidi's site:

I don't know how many nominations I have gotten over the years, but I did receive three awards.

Thank you for your best wishes, everyone, but I realize I'm the (pun intended) dark horse in this competition. The sentimental favorite has got to be Gene Colan. I kinda hope he wins, and would be surprised if he did not.
