Created in 1988, the Harvey Awards are held in honour of Harvey Kurtzman, cartoonist, writer, editor and comics genius, who is best remembered for MAD, Two-Fisted Tales, Frontline Combat and Little Annie Fanny. The Harvey Awards are one of the comics industry's oldest and most respected awards as they are the only industry awards nominated and selected by comics professionals. From 2006, the Harvey Awards will be announced each year at the Baltimore Comic-Con.

"...if I had to pick one single comic book that was the best comic book ever, it would be Kurtzman's MAD..."
Alan Moore
