The winners of the 2011 Harvey Awards were announced this weekend at the Baltimore Comic Con – a con that is rapidly getting bigger and bigger with each passing year – and it was a list of winners that are hard to argue with in a lot of ways, but also a little surprising in some ways as well (I was a bit surprised that Roger Langridge – as adored as he is – won multiple Harveys including Best Writer). Still, there were some straight up fantastic winners, like Rafael Albuquerque and Scott Snyder’s American Vampire winning Best New Series, Darwyn Cooke sweeping the art awards, and Daytripper taking the Best Single Issue or Story award.
Congrats to everyone and check all of the winners after the jump.
