Description

A revolutionary novel, "A Contract With God" re-creates the neighbourhood of Will Eisner's youth through a quartet of interwoven stories. Called "a masterpiece" by R. Crumb, "A Life Force" chronicles not only the Great Depression but also the rise of Nazism and the spread of socialist politics. In "Dropsie Avenue", Eisner traces the social trajectory of this mythic avenue over four centuries, creating an unending "story of life, death, and resurrection".

Author description

Born in New York in 1917, WILL EISNER, "one of the legends of American comics" (Financial Times), was the author of The Spirit. His fifteen graphic novels, as well as his posthumous history, The Plot (ISBN 978 0 393 32860 8), form the Will Eisner Library. The comic industry's top annual awards, "The Eisners", are named in his honour.
