Ay Eisner Espiritu ng Comics Retailer Award
Bawat taon, pinarangalan ng Comic-Con International ang mga retailer mula sa iba't ibang panig ng mundo sa Will Eisner Spirit of Comics Retailer Award, na ipinangalan sa visionary creator ng The Spirit. Nang lumapit si Will sa Comic-Con tungkol sa pagsisimula ng award noong unang bahagi ng 1990s, nais niyang gawin ito bilang isang paraan upang kilalanin ang mahalagang papel na ginagampanan ng mga retailer ng komiks sa industriya, na inaalagaan ang relasyon sa pagitan ng mga tagalikha at ng kanilang mga mambabasa. Ang retailer ng komiks ay nagbibigay ng mahalagang link na iyon sa pagkuha ng trabaho mula sa mga tagalikha at publisher sa publiko. Kinilala ni Will ang kahalagahan ng link na iyon, at patuloy na kinikilala ito ng Comic Con sa loob ng 30 taon pagkatapos ng orihinal na ideya ni Will.
The award is given out yearly to retailers who have done an outstanding job of supporting the comic art medium both in the industry at large and in their local community. Comics fans around the world have the opportunity to nominate their favorite stores here on the Comic-Con website. The 2025 award will be given out as part of the Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards on July 25, 2025.
