The Russ Manning Promising Newcomer Award has been given out annually at Comic-Con since 1982. It is presented to a comics artist who, early in his or her career, shows a superior knowledge and ability in the art of creating comics. It is named for Russ Manning, the artist best known for his work on the Tarzan<\/em> and Star Wars<\/em> newspaper strips and the Magnus, Robot Fighter<\/em> comic book. Russ was a popular guest at the San Diego convention in the 1970s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first recipient of the award was former Manning assistant Dave Stevens, who went on to create The Rocketeer<\/em>. Other past recipients have included Jan Duursema, Steve Rude, Scott McCloud, Art Adams, Eric Shanower, Dan Brereton, Jeff Smith, Gene Ha, David Petersen, Eleanor Davis, Tyler Crook, Dan Mora, Anne Szabala, Zoe Thorogood, and Greg Smallwood, to name a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The nominees are chosen by a panel consisting of board and committee members of Comic-Con International and a San Diego comics retailer. The winner is chosen by past Manning award winners and Russ Manning assistants. The recipient is announced during the Eisner Awards ceremony at Comic-Con in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
