IMAGE COMICS CONGRATULATES CREATORS ON HARVEY AWARDS, THANKS FANS FOR SUPPORT
Saga and Sex Criminals creators honored at Baltimore Comic-Con
Image Comics is thrilled to congratulate Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples of
SAGA and Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky of
SEX CRIMINALS on their Harvey Award wins this past weekend while at Baltimore Comic-Con and thank readers and fans for all their support.
“I think the number of awards accumulated by Brian, Fiona, Matt, and Chip this year speaks volumes about how legitimately awesome these two series are,” said Eric Stephenson, Publisher at Image Comics. “As nice as the awards are, though, those accolades would ultimately be meaningless if not for the staggering amount of support for both titles from the legion of fans who have helped make Saga and Sex Criminals so successful. It really is an honor to publish such incredible work for such an amazing readership.”

Artist Chip Zdarsky added a splash of his trademark humor to the ceremony when the presenter accepted his Harvey Award for Most Promising New Talent, saying on his behalf, “Thank you for this Most Promising New Talent award. I am 38 years old and have an ongoing struggle with impotency, so this is great news. Just great.”
