Comic-Con International announced on Friday that the Eisner Awards judges have nominated manga creator Moto Hagio to be inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Awards Hall of Fame this year.
The judges have nominated 16 people, and voters will choose four to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
The previous Japanese inductees of the Eisner Hall of Fame were Osamu Tezuka (2002), Kazuo Koike (2004), Goseki Kojima (2004), Katsuhiro Otomo (2012), and Rumiko Takahashi (2018).
Moto Hagio was nominated last year as well along with Keiji Nakazawa but they were not among the four selected.
