2024 Ringo Awards Nominees Announced

The Mike Wieringo Comic Book Industry Awards is an annual celebration of the creativity, skill and fun of comics. While the 2024 Ringo Awards Nominees were determined by fans and pros alike, voting on the 2024 Final Ballot is restricted to comic book industry creative community — anyone involved in and credited with creating comics professionally.

The sixth annual awards will return as part of The Baltimore Comic-Con. Top honors will be announced Saturday, September 21, 2024.

This year’s nominees feature a few previous guests of the Capes and Tights Podcast including Matt Kindt and John Allison. Marc Bernardin and Ram V were nominated as part of an anthology as well.
