Sono stati resi pubblici i titoli e gli autori candidati agli Ignatz Awards 2019, così intitolati in omaggio al topo della famosa striscia Krazy Kat di George Herriman. I premi sono il più importante riconoscimento dedicato al fumetto indipendente americano.
I vincitori di quest’anno saranno annunciati alla cerimonia che si terrà sabato 14 settembre prossimo presso il Bethesda North Marriott Hotel & Conference Center in Bethesda, Maryland, durante la Small Press Expo, manifestazione che dal 1994 promuove il fumetto alternativo.
