The Comics Journal is a magazine that covers the comics medium from an arts-first perspective, and one of the nation's most respected single-arts magazines, providing its readers with an eclectic mix of industry news, commentary, professional interviews, classic comics sections and reviews of current work on a regular basis. Due to its reputation as the American magazine with an interest in comics as an art form, the Journal has subscribers worldwide, and in this country serves as an important window into the world of comics for several general arts and news magazines.

Despite a contentious relationship with the rest of the North American comics industry, due in no small part to its investigative news stories and uncompromising review section, the Journal has won several industry awards, most notably the Utne Reader, Eisner and Harvey trophies.

In October 2009, we announced the next phase of the evolution of The Comics Journal, beginning in 2010 as a uniquely sized and formatted, evocatively visual and tactile semi-annual event, with expanded content at The Comics Journal website TCJ.com.

2010 Harvey Award Nominee: Best Biographical, Historical, or Journalistic Presentation

2009 Eisner Award Nominee: Best Comics-Related Periodical/Journalism

2007 Harvey Award Nominee: Best Biographical, Historical, or Journalistic Presentation

2007 Eisner Award Nominee: Best Comics-Related Periodical/Journalism (also nominated in this category: TCJ.com's ¡Journalista!)
