Here are Your 2018 Glyph Comics Award Nominees

East Coast Black Age of Comics Convention has released the list of nominees for 2018's Glyph Comics Awards, recognizing comics created by, for, and about people of color. Would it compromise our journalistic integrity to mention that Bleeding Cool's newest contributor, Tim Fielder, received six nominations this year? You know what, it probably would. Forget we mentioned it.

The awards will presented at ECBACC in Philadelphia in May. You can learn more at the website.

Check out the nominees below, and let us know who your favorites are in the comments.
