Sono state annunciate le candidature agli Eisner Awards 2020, i premi fumettistici americani consegnati dal San Diego Comic-Con.

Sul sito del San Diego Comic-Con sono state pubblicate le candidature agli Eisner Awards 2020. Solitamente la cerimonia di premiazione si svolge proprio durante la manifestazione, ma quest’anno la formula sarà diversa.
