As was the case with the Eisner nomination, the BoSK faces strong competition. &#8220;The Rocketeer&#8221; is just an amazing book. I am currently reading the second volume of IDW&#8217;s &#8220;Rip Kirby&#8221;. Although Alex Raymond is usually remembered for his Flash Gordon, I believe his Rip Kirby was much better and more important. Some of the other books I have not had the chance to examine closely but who could question the importance of Harvey Kurtzman? &#8220;Alter Ego&#8221; is the magazine to go for anyone interested in the silver and golden age comic book artists. So once again I am not holding to much hope of &#8220;The Best of Simon and Kirby&#8221; actually winning one of these awards. However I am quite pleased to have been part of a project that is has received the recognition that these nominations bring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not long ago I posted that &#8220;The Best of Simon and Kirby&#8221; had been nominated for a Eisner award \/\/kirbymuseum.org\/blogs\/simonandkirby\/archives\/2689.
