Friendly reminder to please nominate By the Horns: Dark Earth for the Ringo Awards.

The Ringo Awards are high profile honors in the comic book industry and they are accepting nominations from fans and comic professionals right now. Receiving a Ringo is an amazing way for smaller profile series like BTH (and indie comics creators like me) to get more exposure, which really helps with recognition, sales and new writing opportunities.

You can nominate By the Horns: Dark Earth in many categories if you wish, but I’d especially appreciate noms for:

✨Best Continuing or Limited Series - BY THE HORNS: Dark Earth✨

✨Best Single Issue or Story - BY THE HORNS: Dark Earth #7✨

These categories represent the overall effort, creativity, care and excellence that our entire team strives to deliver in BTH every issue.

Thank you!
