Will Eisner: The Centennial Celebration: 1917-2017

By Will Eisner and Stephan Pastis

The legacy that Will Eisner (1917-2005) had on sequential art cannot be overstated--his innovative storytelling, layouts, and art on his newspaper series The Spirit inspired a generation of cartoonists, and his turn toward an acclaimed run of graphic novels beginning in 1978 with A Contract with God helped pioneer the form. This catalogue includes over 175 selected illustrations, reproduced from the original artwork, from the landmark Will Eisner Centennial Celebration exhibitions taking place in 2017 at Le Mus e de la Bande Dessin e in Angoul me and the Society of Illustrators in New York. Dual English and French text with essays by Denis Kitchen, Paul Gravett, and John Lind.
