Freie Beschreibung: Vorwort: Brad Meltzer (introduction) - mit zahlreichen teils farbigen Abbildungen - - Will Eisner (1917–2005) is universally considered the master of comics storytelling, best known for 'The Spirit', his iconic newspaper comic strip, and 'A Contract With God', the first significant American graphic novel. This seminal work from 1978 ushered in a new era of personal stories in comics form that touched every adult topic from mortality to religion and sexuality, forever changing the way writers and artists approached the medium of comics storytelling. Eisner went on to write and illustrate more than twenty graphic novels, each one pushing the boundaries of what comics could achieve. In Will Eisner: Champion of the Graphic Novel, noted historian and former president and publisher of DC Comics Paul Levitz celebrates Eisner by tracing his evolution as an artist, showcasing his most famous work along­side unpublished and rare materials from the family archives and analyzing his impact on the explosvie field of graphic novel. Incorporated are original interviews with creators such as Jules Feiffer, Art Spiegelman, Scott McCloud, Jeff Smith, Denis Kitchen, and Neil Gaiman - all of whom knew Eisner and were inspired by his work to create their own graphic novels for a new generation of readers. - minimale Lagerspuren - intern600+lp022-1475
