Congratulations to the minds behind “Stephen Colbert’s Tek Jansen”, which was nominated for a Harvey Award today!
The Harvey nominations and winners are chosen by comic creators themselves, so it’s gratifying to see that Stephen’s Mary Sue project was so enthusiastically embraced by this community. Kudos to all the folks from The Colbert Report and Oni Press who were involved in this issue.
From the Harvey Awards website (my emphasis added):
