It’s a great list, mixing genres and eras, from under-appreciated greats like Ito to under-appreciated presents like Eleanor Davis. We’re thrilled to have the chance to glimpse them across crowded halls. Hell, maybe this will be the year we do nothing but go to spotlight panels.
Who decided on the photos to use. They are a bit misleading about the gender split. Anywho… I’m glad Davis and Kiernan are included.
The photos are in alphabetical order.
