A Contract with God and Other Stories of Dropsie Avenue by Will Eisner
“An essential introductory collection to comics’ most essential figure. Weaving together the works that helped assure comics’ status as a literary medium, the anthology combines Eisner’s slice-of-life masterpieces with an incisive editorial introduction and carefully curated scholarship to provide crucial insight into how comics work, what they mean, and what they can do.” —Jeremy Dauber, Columbia University and author of American Comics: A History
