Presented today is the initial release of Webcomics for our 2009 Eligibility list. To qualify the creator must have produced webcomic work in 2008. Please note: a webcomic is often a collaborative medium, the Joe Shuster Awards apply only to Canadians working in comics. In the case of two Canadians working together, both are nominated. In the case of one Canadian and other nationalities, only the Canadian qualifies.
This list may not be exhaustive and we are always seeking out new works. If a creator or fan is aware of a strip we are missing, please let us know by emailing: webcomics@joeshusterawards.com
