Spider-Man and the Eisners
I was thinking about this question for Spider-Man in general as I was compiling lists: the Eisners and Spider-Man - what got snubbed?
To my knowledge, Spider-Man has only had two comic wins:
PPSSM #310, "Finale" and ASM (vol 2) #36 "Untitled"
As for writers and artists, Brian Michael Bendis won two years in a row for Best Writer, including his work on USM, and Al Williamson won in 1997 for best Artist/Penciller/Inker.
Now I'm curious: with so few wins, what do you think deserved the Eisner? What didn't deserve it?
