JUNE 21, 2024, (PORTLAND, OR) — San Diego publisher Magma Comix is excited to share that The Principles of Necromancy artist, Eamon Winkle, has been nominated for the Russ Manning Most Promising Newcomer Award!
Winkle is a California-based comic book artist and illustrator. When he’s not drawing, he’s thinking about drawing or planning what he should draw next. His works have been published in Sumerian Comics, Advent Comics, Scout Comics, Black Caravan Press and more.
The Russ Manning Award is presented to an artist early in their career that “shows a superior knowledge and ability in the art of creating comics.” It was named after Russ Manning, creator of Magnus, Robot Fighter and illustrator of Star Wars and Tarzan comic strips. The winner will be announced at the annual Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards ceremony at San Diego Comic-Con International 2024 on Friday, July 26.
“Words (or drawings) cannot begin to describe how truly honored and full of gratitude I am to be nominated for this year’s Russ Manning Newcomer Award,” said Eamon Winkle. “We think of art and creativity as a solitary, independent act, but it’s a culmination of the support, collaboration, enthusiasm and generosity of others. I couldn’t have gotten to this point in my artistic journey without all the people who have done so much to encourage me along the way. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity and letting me create and share my artwork with you all.”
“We are thrilled to see Eamon receive this recognition, which he earned through dedication to both his craft and his team,” said Magma Comix President and Publisher, Denton J. Tipton. “How does such an incredibly pleasant fellow have such a knack for drawing the unpleasant? A mystery worthy of Dr. Eyes’ attention.”
