Creator of the seminal Golden Age character the Spirit, he went on to revolutionize the comics world with the publication of his graphic novel A Contract with God, and his workùboth as a creator and as an advocate for the mediumùaffects every comics creator working today. Namesake of the industry's Eisner Awards, the man was an indefatigable believer in the power and beauty of what he called "sequential art:' and as the grand old mensch of comics, he tirelessly promoted the form.
In Will Eisner: A Dreamer's Life in Comics, Michael Schumacher delves beneath Eisner's public persona to draw connections between his life and his art. Schumacher details Eisner's early life and the entirety of his career, which spanned a remarkable eight decades. From his scrappy beginnings at the dawn of comics' Golden Age in the late 1930's to the beginning of the twenty-first century, when Pulitzers began going to graphic novels (a term Eisner is widely credited with creating), Eisner's story is the story of American comics. Schumacher's extensive researchùaugmented with over sixty drawings and photographs, some never before publishedùand in-depth interviews with Eisner's family, friends, colleagues, and other comics creators who have built upon his work create a detailed portrait of Eisner the man, Eisner the artist, and the medium he loved so much.
