Parmi la pleïade de récompenses attribuées lors des Will Eisner Awards décernés chaque année au Comic-Con de San-Diego il n’est pas rare que des auteurs européens se glissent dans les nominés.

Cet année étaient cités :
Gradimir Smudja pour « Hurricane » - Best Short Story

Fabrice Parme et Lewis Trondheim pour « Le roi catastrophe » - Best Publication for Kids et Best U.S. Edition of International Material

Eric Heuvel pour « Un secret de famille » - Best Publication for Teens

Emmanuel Guibert, Didier Lefèvre et Frédéric Lemercier pour « Le Photographe » - Best Reality-Based Work, Best Graphic Album-New et Best U.S. Edition of International Material

Jacques Tardi et Jean-Patrick Manchette pour « Petit bleu de la côte ouest » - Best Adaptation from Another Work et Best U.S. Edition of International Material

Emile Bravo pour « Ma maman est en Amérique » - Best Graphic Album-New et Best U.S. Edition of International Material

Nominé trois fois pour le même album, Emmanuel Guibert échoue malheureusement dans les deux catégories où il était en concurrence avec des américains mais remporte l’Eisner Award du meilleur album étranger.
