Will Eisner’s work on The Spirit was, in its way, as groundbreaking as Orson Welles’ Citizen Kane. Both artistic achievements rewrote the book on sequential storytelling and had lasting impacts on all that followed them.

Featured within these pages are 17 Spirit stories all from Eisner’s peak period, 1946 – 1950, generally regarded as his best work on The Spirit. Eisner is also considered to be the founding father of the Graphic novel, with the publication of A Contract with God in 1978. He is also the namesake of the Eisner Awards, the “Academy Awards of the comics industry, held each year at Comic-Con International.
 
An Artisan Edition collects stories, covers and pages that have been reproduced from the original art. While appearing to be in black and white, these images have been scanned in color, allowing the reader to view them as closely as possible to the original art. Ink gradients, blue pencil, corrections, and more are all clearly visible, all the wonderful subtle nuances that make original art so special and unique. The only way to better view these pages if you were standing over the artist’s shoulder as they were drawn.

Über den Autor Will Eisner

Will Eisner (1917 - 2005) war der 'große alte Mann' des Comics. Als in den 1930er-Jahren in den USA die Comic-Hefte aufkamen, zeichnete er verschiedene Serien. 1940 folgte 'The Spirit', dessen Abenteuer zwölf Jahre lang als Titelserie einer Zeitungsbeilage mit einer wöchentlichen Auflage von fünf Millionen Exemplaren erschienen. 1978 legte Eisner mit 'Ein Vertrag mit Gott' die erste erfolgreiche Graphic Novel vor und begründete damit ein neues literarisches Genre. Es folgten knapp zwanzig weitere Titel, darunter die autobiografisch inspirierten Werke 'The Dreamer' und 'Zum Herzen des Sturms' sowie zuletzt 2005 'Das Komplott. Die wahre Geschichte der Protokolle der Weisen von Zion'. Aus seiner Lehrtätigkeit an der School of Visual Arts in New York gingen die Bücher 'Comics & Sequential Art' und 'Graphic Storytelling' hervor. Eisner erhielt viele internationale Preise, darunter die bedeutendste europäische Comic-Auszeichnung 'Grand Prix Alfred' und 2002 den 'Lifetime Achievement Award' der National Foundation for Jewish Culture. Michael Chabons mit dem Pulitzerpreis ausgezeichneter Roman 'Die unglaublichen Abenteuer von Kavalier & Clay' ist zu großen Teilen von Eisners Biografie inspiriert.
