The Harvey Awards announce its 2022 Hall of Fame Inductees

Posted on by
The Harvey Awards

The Harvey Awards has revealed this year’s inductees into the Harvey Awards Hall of Fame in advance of the annual awards ceremony to be held during New York Comic Con. The 2022 Harvey Awards find four recipients being honored: award-winning fantasy and science fiction writer Neil Gaiman, comic book writer and former Marvel editor-in-chief Roy Thomas, cartoonist and member of the underground comix movement Gilbert Shelton, and cartoonist Marge Buell.

Gaiman is one of the world’s most successful and highly regarded authors in the fantasy and comic book fields. His award-winning works include comic book series The Sandman and novels Coraline, The Graveyard Book, Stardust, Good Omens, and American Gods. Enjoyed by generations of fans, several of his works have been adapted into TV series, films, and stage plays.

Roy Thomas is a prolific comic book writer and editor and became Stan Lee’s first successor as editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics. At Marvel, Thomas co-created numerous characters including Wolverine, Vision, Carol Danvers, Luke Cage, Ultron, Valkyrie, and Ghost Rider.

Gilbert Shelton is a pioneer of the underground comix movement, and creator of the iconic characters The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, Fat Freddy’s Cat, and Wonder Wart-Hog. He is an original member of ZAP Comix. Shelton’s Freak Brothers comics inspired an animated series that debuted last year on Tubi, featuring the voices of Pete Davidson, John Goodman, and Woody Harrelson.

The late Marjorie Henderson Buell, who went by the pen name Marge, was a cartoonist best known as the creator of the popular character Little Lulu. Originating as a single-panel comic strip, Little Lulu went on to become an internationally famous character and licensing powerhouse who appeared in comic books, merchandise, advertising, and animation.

The Harvey Awards Hall of Fame inductees will be recognized at the 34th annual awards ceremony on Friday, October 7, during New York Comic Con 2022.
