This is what the longrunning comic industry Harvey Awards used to look like.

But with the debut of their appearance at New York Comic-Con this year, they now look like this.

And they will be far fewer in number this year, down from twenty-two awards to just six.

Named (and now modelled) after Harvey Kurtzman, the awards will be presented during New York Comic Con at a gala event on Friday, October 5th at Shop Studios (528 W 39th St).
