每年,国际动漫展(Comic-Con International)都会向来自全球各地的零售商颁发 "威尔-艾斯纳漫画零售商精神奖"(Will Eisner Spirit of Comics Retailer Award),该 奖项是以《漫画精神》(The Spirit)的创造者威尔-艾斯纳的 名字命名的20 世纪 90 年代初,当威尔向漫威提出设立该奖项时,他希望通过这种方式表彰漫画零售商在漫画行业中发挥的重要作用,培养创作者与读者之间的关系。漫画零售商是将创作者和出版商的作品传递给公众的重要纽带。威尔认识到了这一纽带的重要性,而在威尔最初提出这一想法 30 多年后,动漫展依然认识到了这一点。

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.
