Book synopsis

This is an insightful collection of interviews with one of the world's most celebrated and revered comics artist. Will Eisner's innovations in the comics industry, especially the comic book and the graphic novel make him one of comics' first true auteurs and the cartoonist so revered and influential that cartooning's highest honour is named after him. His newspaper feature "The Spirit" (1940-1952) introduced the now-common splash page to the comic book, as well as dramatic angles and lighting effects that were influenced by, and influenced in turn, the conventions of film noir. Even in his tales of crime fighting, Eisner's writing focused on everyday details of city life and on contemporary social issues. This volume collects the best interviews with Eisner (1917-2005) from 1965 to 2004, revealing in-depth information about the creation of his characters, his devotion to the educational uses of the comics medium, and his contributions to the development of the graphic novel.
