Questo weekend al Baltimore Comic-Con sono stati assegnati gli Harvey Awards, premi in vigore dal 1988 che prendono il loro nome dal leggendario disegnatore di MAD, Harvey Kurtzman.

Spiccano tra i riconoscimenti quelli assegnati in casa Image a Saga di Brian K. Vaughan e Fiona Staples come migliore serie e a March Book II, realizzato per IDW/Top Shelf da Andrew Aydin e Nate Powell, come migliore graphic album e presentazione biografica, storica o giornalistica.
