PR: The Comics Industry Celebrates the 2023 Ringo Awards

The Comics Industry Celebrates the 2023 Ringo Awards

BALTIMORE, MARYLAND - September 10, 2023 - Comic creative professionals, publishers, retailers, and fans came together Saturday night, September 9, 2023 to experience the comic book industry celebrating recognition of their peers, co-workers, and competitors at the 2023 Mike Wieringo Comic Book Industry Awards.

This year's Ringo Awards was sponsored by Cards, Comics & Collectibles, the Baltimore Comic-Con, as well as A Wave Blue World, Big Lick Comic-Con, BOOM! Studios, Comix Well Spring, Gem City Comic Con, Geppi Family Enterprises, Hake's Auctions, Hard Rock Cafe, Image Comics, Mad Cave Studios, Modern Fanatic, Oni Press, Prana: Direct Market Solutions, and Rocketship Entertainment.
The Mike Wieringo Comic Book Industry Awards is an annual celebration of the creativity, skill, and fun of comics. The nomination ballot is determined by fans and pros alike.
Mark Waid

Mark Waid, a New York Times-bestselling author, bought his first comic book at age four and never stopped. Since entering the field as a professional in the mid-1980s, he has been an editor, a writer, a publisher, an artist, a colorist, a letterer, a publicist, a creative consultant, a chief creative officer, and even a comic shop owner, meaning he's done literally everything you can do in comics outside of running the actual printing presses. As a writer, he's worked with every major and almost every minor publisher, writing and editing over 2000 stories (and counting). Among them are his collaboration with artist Alex Ross, Kingdom Come, one of the all-time highest-selling American graphic novels, as well as long, critically acclaimed runs on Flash, Daredevil, Archie, Fantastic Four, and many, many other titles. Currently, he's enjoying a new groundswell of success at DC Comics with World's Finest, Teen Titans, and Shazam! while, in his "spare time," embarking on a full-scale teaching career, presenting comics writing classes at select conventions and venues.

A very special thanks go to the sponsors who donated items to the 2022 Ringo Awards Gift Bags, including A Wave Blue World, Abrams Books, AfterShock Comics, AWA Studios, AWA Studios, Bad Egg Publishing, BOOM!

That darn Clay Bennett

Pushing readers' buttons [Clay Bennett letter]

Kurt Petersen, Woodbine

Washington Post September 9 2023: 15



The Aug. 26 editorial cartoon by Clay Bennett, showing campaign buttons with the names of the Republican contenders and their front-runner, was indeed saddening.

However, knowing that a majority of the American public, including me, thinks President Biden's button should be included in the cartoon is what makes this looming election flat-out depressing.
