Since 1990 she has been the administrator of the Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards, comics' most prestigious awards program, and over the last decade she has produced Comic-Con s at-show events guide. Jackie has been an avid photographer since her first course in college in the mid-1960s, and her photos of comics creators have appeared in numerous books and publications.
