Will Eisner's New York: Life In The Big City
Will Eisner, edited by Dennis Kitchen with an introduction by Neil Gaiman. Norton, 2006. With an unparalleled eye for stories and expressive illustration, Will Eisner, the master and pioneer of American comics art, presents graphic fiction's greatest celebration of the Big Apple. No illustrator evoked the melancholy duskiness of New York City as expressively as Eisner, who knew the city from the bottom up. This new hardcover presents a quartet of graphic works (New York, The Building, City People Notebook, and Invisible People) and features what Neil Gaiman describes as “tales as brutal, as uncaring as the city itself.”

From ancient buildings “barnacled with laughter and stained with tears” to the subways, “humorless iron reptiles, clacking stupidly on a webbing of graceful steel rails,” Will Eisner's New York includes cameo appearances by the author himself; several new illustrations sketched by Eisner, posthumously inked by Peter Poplaski; and three previously unpublished “out-takes”—a treasure for any Eisner fan, and sure to become a collectible. 424 pages. Hard Cover Black & White 7½" x 10½" (190mm x 266mm) (ISBN-13: 9780393061062)

Our Price: £18.99 ($37.98) (€24,69)

Will Eisner Life, In Pictures
Will Eisner, Edited by Dennis Kitchen with an introduction by Scott McCloud. Norton, 2006. In what will be the closest thing Eisner fans will see to an autobiography, the great master and pioneer of American graphic arts presents the most intimate and personal perspective yet on his life as a writer, a professional, and an artist. “The Dreamer” and “To the Heart of the Storm” describe Eisner's gritty early life and career, while “The Name of the Game” chronicles a personal history of his wife's family.

Finally, two shorter pieces illuminate the bookends of a legendary career: “The Day I Became a Professional” —which will appeal to any hopeful young artist—describes Eisner's first rejection from a potential publisher, and “A Sunset in Sunshine City” provides a poignant portrait of Eisner in old age. The book features famous characters from the world of comics (under pseudonyms, of course) and other historical figures and family members, all drawn with Eisner's characteristic mastery and technique.

Brooklyn-born Will Eisner, creator of Sheena, Queen of the Jungle and The Spirit, pioneered the graphic novel with A Contract With God. He is one of the greatest legends of twentieth-century comic art. 496 pages. Hard Cover Black & White 7½" x 10½" (190mm x 266mm) (ISBN-13: 9780393061079)
