EISNERS HALL OF FAME

]Inducted into the Hall of Fame during the Eisners ceremony at the San Diego Comic-Con were an assortment of the living and the dead, the latter mostly long overdue for this sort of formal recognition: Mort Meskin, Spain Rodriguez, Marjorie Henderson Buell, Howard Cruse, Lee Falk, Bud Fisher, Bill Griffith, Al Jaffee, Jesse Marsh, Tarpe Mills, Gary Panter, Trina Robbins, Joe Sinnott, Jacques Tardi, and (gracious — about time!) Thomas Nast; his absence from the list until now is almost as inexplicable as Panter’s inclusion.
