The Eisner Award for Best Writer/Artist—Humor was an award for "creative achievement" in American comic books. It was given out every year between 1996 and 2008.
History and name change From the creation of the Eisner Awards in 1988 to 1992, an award titled "Best Writer/Artist (Team or Individual)" was presented. In 1993, this was split into "Best Writer/Artist" (which continues to present) and "Best Writer-Artist Team" (which was only awarded once). In 1996, the award was renamed to "Best Writer/Artist Drama" and a separate award for "Best Writer/Artist—Humor" was created. In 2009, the judges made the decision to combine the Writer/Artist and Writer/Artist—Humor categories.
