Will Eisner: A Dreamer's Life in Comics

About this book

In Will Eisner: A Dreamers Life in Comics Michael Schumacher delves beneath Eisners public persona to draw connections between his life and his art. Eisners career spanned a remarkable eight decades from his scrappy survival at the dawn of comics Golden Age in the late 1930s to the beginning of the twenty-first century when Pulitzers began going to graphic novels (a term Eisner is widely credited with creating). Schumachers extensive research and interviews with Eisners family friends and colleagues as well as other comics creators who have built upon his work create a detailed portrait of Eisner the man and Eisner the artist.
