This World Fantasy Award is presented to individuals for their outstanding professional work in the fantasy field, and voted by a panel of judges at the World Fantasy Convention.
After Neil Gaiman & Charles Vess won the World Fantasy Award for Best Short Fiction in 1991—for the "A Midsummer Night's Dream" issue of The Sandman—comics were restricted to this category.

“Here in the U.S., culture is not that delicious panacea which we Europeans consume in a sacramental mental space and which has its own special columns in the newspapers—and in people’s minds.

—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“... a supportive husband is an absolute requirement for professional women.... He is something she looks for, and when she finds him, she marries him.”
