UPDATE: Well, obviously I wasn’t at the Eagle award ceremony, as I live in Canada. So the results I posted below were from the official press release from the Eagle Awards Committee, who I thought were the most trustworthy source… turns out, not so much! Their list has one glaring omission, they forgot the category of ‘Favourite British  Comicbook: Back and White‘. The winner of this category was Whatever Happened to the World’s Fastest Man?, from our good friends over at Accent UK! So huge congratulations to Dave West and Marleen Lowe for their win. It’s hugely deserved!

The 2010 Eagle Awards were held last night at London’s MCM Expo, and I was pleased to see that the winners list was almost exactly what I voted for. However, I disagree with the best editor vote, clearly that should have gone to Tharg!

Congratulation to all the winner (and the runners-up)!

The full list of winners is shown below along with the official press release from the guys over at the Eagle Awards Committee. To check out the nominees who were in the running for this year’s awards, click here.

EAGLE AWARDS WINNERS 2010

(for material published in 2009)

THIS year was a banner one for the Eagle Awards as London’s MCM Expo took on responsibility for hosting the awards on a permanent basis.

It was also another record-breaking year for the awards with a continued growth in the number of participating voters. Continuing to expand their worldwide penetration, Yet again, the awards took on more of an international flavour. Apart from Britain, the USA and Canada, the thousands of ballots that flooded in came from more than 100 countries. Among them were several in Europe as well as Afghanistan, Botswana, Egypt, India, North Korea, Russia, Thailand, Uruguay, Vietnam and Zimbabwe to name but a few.

Introduced in 1976, the Eagles are the comics industry’s longest established awards. Acknowledged as the pre-eminent international prizes, they have been featured on the covers of leading US and UK titles across the last 32 years ranging from Uncanny X-Men and Swamp Thing to MAD and 2000 AD.

Unique in the comics industry in that they reflect both the professional and the reader’s choice, the Eagle Awards comprise of two distinct stages:

(i) A Nominations Form allows the entire comics community to choose their favourites.

(ii) The top five nominations then appear on the voting form for the readers and fans to choose from, thus focusing the fans with no wasted votes.
