The nominees for the 2008 Shuster Awards have been announced. The awards will be voted on by a jury with the exception of several fan-voted awards for favorite creator.

Note from the Publisher: My sincere apologies to Cecil Castellucci for the mistake concerning her Nationality, for anyone who may have read the earlier incorrect notation, Cecil Castellucci is a "full on" French Canadian Citizen and proud of it. Sorry for the mix up Cecil. We owe you a pint of whatever your drinking. Our bad.
