Ignatz Awards 2016

Ανακοινώθηκαν, κατά τη διάρκεια της Small Press Expo (SPX) 2016, οι νικητές των φετινών Ignatz Awards. Τα Ignatz Awards, τα οποία του χρόνου κλείνουν 20 χρόνια παρουσίας στον χώρο, απονέμονται σε small press comics, ανεξάρτητους δημιουργούς, καθώς και σε creator-owned τίτλους. Η ονομασία τους είναι προς τιμήν του δημιουργό του κλασικού strip KRAZY KAT, George Herriman, όπου ο συμπρωταγωνιστής ήταν ένα πειραχτήρικο ποντίκι ονόματι Ignatz που πέταγε τούβλα. Η μεγάλη νικήτρια ήταν η 20χρονη Tillie Walden, η οποία εισέπραξε δύο βραβεία, ως Oustanding Artist αλλά και Promising New Talent.

Ακολουθούν όλοι οι υποψήφιοι και με bold επισημασμένοι οι νικητές σε κάθε κατηγορία.
