DescriptionWill Eisner, the master and pioneer of American comics art, presents graphic fiction's greatest celebration of the Big Apple. No illustrator evoked the melancholy duskiness of New York City as expressively as Eisner, who knew the city from the bottom up. This new hardback presents a quartet of graphic works (New York, The Building, City People Notebook and Invisible People) and includes cameo appearances by the author himself; several new illustrations sketched by Eisner, posthumously inked by Peter Poplaski; and three previously unpublished "out-takes". Eisner's character, "The Spirit", has been optioned to be a major film. It contains an introduction by Neil Gaiman. Reviews"The Plot (ISBN 978 0 393 32860 8), "a fitting, serious and well-drawn end to Eisner's illustrious career" (The Guardian), is also available along with "his masterwork" (Publishing News), The Contract with God Trilogy (ISBN 978 0 393 06105 5)." Author descriptionBorn in Brooklyn in 1917, WILL EISNER hawked newspapers on Wall Street before launching one of the most illustrious careers in graphic history. The comic industry's top annual awards, "The Eisners", are named in his honour. |
