It would be a short list, I know, and maybe there would be some years no one gets the award. But who knows, maybe a bit of public love directed towards the best of the best will impel others to do better.

We're still quirky! I'm currently working with Peter Bagge (Apocalypse Nerd), Kyle Baker (The Bakers meet Jingle Belle), and Tony Millionaire (Sock Monkey). Tony alone has tons of quirk to spare base solely on his extra-curricular pizza-based activities! The quirk has always been at Dark Horse it just sometimes gets overshadowed by the big licensed stuff. Quirky? We’re still quirky!

I've loved Dark Horse for a long time, but they became pretty much the Star Wars/Manga publisher for the past decade or so. They used to do more with some of the "quirkiest" creators around.
