I'm not sure what the rules are, but I'll go by the categories that Nigel the Voluminous used. I'll assume that since he listed three choices in each category (most of them, anyway), that the poll requests three. Best Title: AMERICAN FLAGG!, THOR, CEREBUS Best Writer: Alan Moore, Howie Chaykin, Dave Sim Best Penciller: Walt Simonson, Howie Chaykin, Dave Stevens Best Inker: Terry Austin, Tom Palmer, Dick Giordano Best Group: Teen Titans, Legion of S.H., X-Men Best Male Character: Reuben Flagg, Jon Sable, The Masked Man Best Female Character: Wonder Girl, Ms. Tree, Kitty Pryde (well *I* like her!) Plus, here are some other categories I'll submit: Best Reprint Title: MANHUNTER, THE SPIRIT, STEVE CANYON Best "Back Feature": "The Rocketeer", "Marvelman", "Grimjack" [Since the Rocketeer doesn't have his own book, I consider it a back feature. also, let it be known that "The Masked Man" comes in a very close fourth.] Best Graphic Novel [so far]: THE STAR SLAMMERS, THE X-MEN, THE DEATH OF CAPTAIN MARVEL In a following posting, I'll submit my choices for Best of 1983. --- jayembee (Jerry Boyajian, DEC Maynard) UUCP: (decvax!decwrl!rhea!akov68!boyajian) ARPA: (decwrl!rhea!akov68!boyajian@Shasta)
