Birds of Prey’s Jordie Bellaire Wins Best Colorist (Golden Issue Awards 2024)
If color weren’t present in our beloved comics, they would be a monochrome blend of black and white – an alternative version, but still different. Picture Green Lantern without his signature green, Superman’s cape in a hue other than striking red, or even the cityscape as Spider-Man spins his webs against a backdrop devoid of color. Color plays a crucial role in the narratives unfolding within comic books, and 2024 was especially fortunate to witness remarkable work by gifted colorists who skillfully used every imaginable shade and tone to complement both words and artwork, breathing life into some truly extraordinary stories. As we bid farewell to this year, ComicBook is honored to present the Golden Issue Award for Best Colorist to recognize the exceptional talent of these dedicated artists.
