THE DON THOMPSON AWARDS
Sponsored by CompuServe on behalf of one of the first comic book enthusiast fan groups on the internet, these awards were named in honor of Comics Buyer’s Guide publisher Don Thompson, and were overseen by his widow and Comics Buyer’s Guide editor, Maggie Thompson. They were distributed from 1992 to 1998 at Motor City Comic Con in Detroit, Michigan.
Also, a note about the “Most Improved” award: this award is not necessarily meant to suggest that the previous work on the title from the issues cited was poor, but specifically to recognize the exemplary work of a new creative team on an ongoing title.
