We are thrilled to announce that A Pillbug Story by Allison Conway has been nominated for a 2025 Eisner Award, one of the most prestigious honors in the world of comics and graphic novels.
The Eisners—often referred to as the “Oscars of the comic book world”—recognize creative excellence in the medium. We’re honored that A Pillbug Story, a tender and imaginative tale of resilience and transformation, has earned a spot among this year’s nominees.
Written and illustrated by the incomparable Allison Conway, A Pillbug Story has captured the hearts of readers with its delicate linework, emotionally rich narrative, and deceptively simple style. It’s a story about change, grief, and what it means to come out of your shell—crafted with subtlety, humor, and heart.
This nomination is not only a testament to Allison’s talent, but also a sign that quiet, introspective stories have a powerful place in today’s comics landscape. We couldn’t be prouder to stand behind this book.
