Manning Award nominees: Eleanor Davis
Continuing our brief survey of this year’s Russ Manning Award nominees, Eleanor Davis is one of America’s most acclaimed young cartoonists. With her husband and collaborator Drew Weing, she runs their self-publishing company, Little House. A frequent contributor to MOME, she drew the cover for the 2008 Best American Comics. She created the children’s graphic novel STINKY for Toon Books, and the first volume of her new GN series, THE SECRET SCIENCE ALLIANCE, is due soon from Bloomsbury. Of Davis’s art, Toon Books editor Francoise Mouly told PRINT Magazine, “It’s very imaginative and funny and fanciful, but it’s also very thoroughly worked out. She’s not afraid to be clear.”
