At the San Diego Comic-Con last week, four First Second titles were nominated for Eisner Awards, the most prestigious awards for American comics.

Three of them won!

First,

Aaron Steinke and Ariel Cohn’s THE ZOO BOX won the Eisner Award for Best Publication for Early Readers.

Then,

Gene Luen Yang won the Eisner Award for Best Writer, recognizing his work on THE SHADOW HERO.

And finally,

THIS ONE SUMMER by Mariko Tamaki and Jillian Tamaki won the Eisner Award for Best Graphic Novel!

Congratulations to all the authors for their hard work — and to the editors and the Publisher for having the good taste to publish these books in the first place!
