Will Eisner

Rate this book
Er ist der wichtigste Zeichner des amerikanischen Comics: Will Eisner, der Mann, der mit kaum zwanzig schon ein eigenes Atelier hatte und 1940 für die Zeitungsbeilagen den geheimnisvollen Detektiv „The Spirit“ erfand, und der Mann, der drei Jahrzehnte später mit seinen Comic-Romanen eine ganz neue Form einführte.

Eisner ist eine größere Persönlichkeit als seine Helden. Deshalb präsentieren wir die autobiographische Erzählung „Im Herzen des Sturms“ und eine Auswahl der Geschichten um den Spirit.

William Erwin Eisner was an American cartoonist, writer, and entrepreneur. He was one of the earliest cartoonists to work in the American comic book industry, and his series The Spirit (1940–1952) was noted for its experiments in content and form. In 1978, he popularized the term "graphic novel" with the publication of his book A Contract with God. He was an early contributor to formal comics studies with his book Comics and Sequential Art (1985). The Eisner Award was named in his honor and is given to recognize achievements each year in the comics medium; he was one of the three inaugural inductees to the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame.
