Explore the life of Will Eis­ner, one of the most influ­en­tial artists in the his­to­ry of comics through the most appro­pri­ate medi­um: a graph­ic novel!

From his immi­grant roots and child­hood in New York, start­ing his own comics stu­dio and busi­ness, and the cre­ation and pub­li­ca­tion of his beloved com­ic, The Spir­it, through invent­ing the term ” graph­ic nov­el” to con­vince a gen­er­al trade pub­lish­er to pub­lish the ground­break­ing A Con­tract with God, you’ll fol­low along in Eis­ner’s life journey.

With the most pres­ti­gious comics awards named after him, Will Eis­ner is for­ev­er cel­e­brat­ed not only in what he cre­at­ed but his unerr­ing belief in comics’ capac­i­ty to be bet­ter, to reach high­er, to be a full art form in its own right.

This is the life of this man of vision who helped to put comics on the map.
