Fagin the Jew

Fagin the Jew by Eisner, Will. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781616551261.

Comics luminary Will Eisner takes on literary giant Charles Dickens, in this fascinating retelling of the life of Oliver Twists Fagin! Imagining Fagins impoverished childhood in the slums of London and his initiation into the criminal underworld, Eisners story counters the anti-Semitism of Victorian literature as his gorgeous brushwork creates an evocative portrait of the era. A worthy companion to Dickenss novel, Fagin the Jew is also a touching, complex tale in its own right, and in this deluxe hardcover edition it looks better than ever!
