  • The Eagle Awards were a series of awards for comic book titles and creators. They were awarded by UK fans voting for work produced during the previous year. Named after the UK's Eagle comic, they were launched in 1977 for comics released in 1976. "[S]et up and financed by a group of dealers and fanzine editors" with the intention of including "people with... diverse interests... to make the poll as impartial as possible," the Eagles were described as "the first independent [in the UK], nationally organised comic art awards poll." The hope was that the Eagle Awards would "become a regular annual fandom event," and indeed, they were the preeminent British comics award in the 1980s and the 2000s (being mostly dormant in the 1990s), variously described as the country's comics equivalent of the Oscars or the BAFTAs. The Eagle Awards were usually presented in a ceremony at a British comic book convention; venues over the years included the British Comic Art Convention, UKCAC, Comic Festival, Comic Expo, and the London MCM Expo. Hosts for the ceremonies included such notables as Simon Pegg, Norman Lovett, Fraser Ayres, Billy West, and Anthony Stewart Head. Initially the Eagle Award itself was a certificate; eventually the award became an engraved trophy. Notable repeat Eagle Award winners included Alan Moore, who won the Favourite Comicbook Writer award an impressive eleven times (including sweeping the U.K. and U.S. categories in the period 1985–1987); Terry Austin, who won the Favourite Inker award nine times; Alex Ross, who won the Favourite Comics Artist (Fully Painted Artwork) seven times in ten possible years; and Laura DePuy Martin, who won the Favourite Colourist award six straight times. 2000 AD won the Favourite (Colour) Comic award 12 times, while The Walking Dead won Favourite Black & White Comicbook seven straight times. Batman was voted Favourite Comicbook Character 12 times and Judge Dredd won the award seven times; while the X-Men dominated the Favourite Comicbook Group or Team category, winning it eight times in the span of 11 years. Wolverine won the Favourite Comicbook Character category three times, the Favourite Supporting Character award three times, and the Character Most Worthy of Own Title twice. In 2014, in connection with Stan Lee, the Eagle Awards were renamed, and presented as, the True Believer Comic Awards. They have not returned since then. (en)
  • El Premio Eagle es una serie de premios para títulos y autores de cómics, que se conceden por votación de aficionados del Reino Unido para el trabajo producido durante el año anterior. Son los premios de referencia de Inglaterra en el sector del cómic,​ ya que no existen en el Reino Unido unos premios votados por profesionales del sector equivalentes a los premios Eisner de Estados Unidos. Los premios fueron creados por dos aficionados británicos, Mike Conroy y Richard Burton,​ y se pusieron en marcha en 1977 para los cómics publicado en 1976.​ Desde entonces se han ido celebrando en colaboración con diferentes convenciones del Reino Unido, con algunos años de ausencia en las últimas décadas. En su momento álgido de popularidad algunos de los cómics ganadores incluso reproducían después el logo "Eagle Award Winner" en portada.​ En 2008, la organización de los premios pasó a manos de Cessile Conroy, la hija de 16 años de Mike Conroy,​ que los suspendió en 2009 para relanzarlos en 2010 en colaboración con la London MCM Expo, donde se realiza la entrega de los premios desde entonces.
