Will Eisner: The Centennial Celebration 1917-2017 by Will Eisner
The legacy that Will Eisner (1917-2005) had on sequential art cannot be overstated - his innovative storytelling, layouts, and art on his newspaper series The Spirit inspired a generation of cartoonists, and his turn toward an acclaimed run of graphic novels beginning in 1978 with A Contract with God helped pioneer the form. This catalogue includes over 175 selected illustrations, reproduced from the original artwork, from the landmark Will Eisner Centennial Celebration exhibitions taking place in 2017. Features essays by Denis Kitchen, Paul Gravett, and John Lind.William Eisner has worked as an engineer, a businessman, and a writer. The Roanoke Times named his first novel, The Sevigne Letters, one of the best of the year, and the Los Angeles Times called it an artful suspense story. The book was adapted for the stage and performed at Santa Barbara's Lobero Theater. He's also the author of Athena and Fault Line, two other novels. Eisner has twenty years of experience running large firms and understands the world of entrepreneurs and how fragile a guy and his company can be.
