The Harvey Awards will also be inducting Osamu Tezuka (Astro Boy), Jill Thompson (Scary Godmother) and the founding members of Milestone Media (Dwayne McDuffie, Denys Cowan, Derek T. Dingle, and Michael Davis) into the Harvey Awards Hall of Fame.
So someone else remembers Michael Davis too. Which is nice.
