Will Eisner
- Comics legend and godfather of the graphic novel, Eisner brings together the visual techniques of films like Citizen Kane with storytelling approach of classic American writers like Jack London or O’Henry.
- The Spirit
- A Contract with God
- Always a visionary of the narrative possibilities of the comics as an art form, Eisner finally devotes himself to making a long work of graphic narrative he calls a “graphic narrative.”
- Until his death in January of 2005 at the age of 87, Eisner authors a series of graphic novels at the pace of at least one a year. The novels explore social conditions, human, behavior and Eisner’s life and experience.
- As Eisner began publishing his graphic novels in the early 1970’s, a number of cartoonists who had been members of the underground commix movements of the 1960’s adapted the same experiments in form and content to making longer work in more “literary” formats.
