All Eisner Hall of Fame Nominees Ever.

After my Tweet about Rumiko Takahashi went viral, I got curious as to who all in the history of comics has been nominated for the Will Eisner Award Hall of Fame. As there are many who were nominated more than once before induction, I also got curious as to how many nominated professionals to date are still absent from the HoF.
As I do when I get really curious and can’t find what I need in one tidy place, I made a tidy list for the next person who gets curious. Click here to be sure you’re seeing the most up-to-date version of this thing (it will be updating)!
