Everyone else, please feel free to post whomever you like for their INK work.
For now I thought I would look up the Eisner Award winners for the past few years, and I found out, that Best Inker has only been given out since 1991! Which sucks, cause a lot of the inkers I love from the 70s and 80s are not on this list... but I will supplement them into it later on.
I thought this would be a nice thread to commemorate them, after 93, the Award was changed to include pencillers in the same category, though you could win as either... so not sure who exactly won for what... I have include direct links to their sites, sometimes a wiki on them, and when all else failed, whatever I could find. But for multiple winners, I included a different one for each time they won.
Anyway here are the Winners!
2009 - Guy Davis (best penciller/inker) * warning link has music *
2008 - Pia Guerra/Jose Marzan, Jr as a team (best penciller/inker) * the Marzan site is very bare bones *
thansk for the list Bobby
(Yo BEN - this is required reading for you!)
