Inkpot Award

Το Inkpot Award είναι ετήσιο βραβείο που απονέμεται από την Comic-Con International από το 1974. Απονέμεται στους επαγγελματίες των πεδίων των κόμικ, των κόμικ στριπ, του animation, της επιστημονικής φαντασίας και σε άλλες εκφάνσεις της ποπ κουλτούρας.

Οι νικητές, που παρατίθενται παρακάτω, είναι γνωστοί ως δημιουργοί κόμικς, συγγραφείς, καλλιτέχνες εικονογράφησης και γραφής, κολορίστες, editors ή εκδότες, εκτός αν αναφέρεται διαφορετικά.
