The 2003 Eisners were announced at San Diego. I'm not sure if these have any impact on people's purchasing decisions but here are the winners.

Special attention should be paid to Jason Shiga's award. His minicomics are works of pure genious, so I hope this is but a small step on his path to worldwide acclaim.

Maybe what these comic industry awards need are the betting pools that accompany the academy awards each year. Then it might seem more interesting.
