Trade PB (pen & ink drawings) "Principles & Practice of the World's Most Popular Art Form," explained and illustrated by one of its greatest practitioners. First published in 1985; per the copyright page, this printing "contains the expansion added in 1990," and per the front cover blurb it's been "expanded to include print & digital." Given the stated date of printing (2005), this must have been the last printing done during Eisner's lifetime (he died in January of that year, but the rear-cover biographical blurb still refers to him in the present (living) tense).

"Completing 'The Plot' in the last month of his life, Will Eisner, the great master of American comics, tackled what he regarded as his most powerful work. Deeply disturbed that the 'Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which purports to be the actual blueprint by Jewish leaders to take over the world, continued to be published and disseminated to millions of people around the globe, Eisner hoped that his own graphic account of this outrageous fabrication could reach a mass audience in a way that no academic work possibly could. Eisner powerfully depicts the rise of modern antisemitic thought as seen through the spread of the 'Protocols' itself." - dust jacket. "A work more disturbing than fiction from 'the father of graphic novels'." - New York Times. 148 pages. Bibliography. Index. Profusely illustrated in Eisner's inimitable style. Clean, bright, tight and unmarked with trivial wear. Dust jacket now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart. An excellent example of this fascinating work.; Illustrations; 4to.

Full Colour illustrations. Dust Jacket condition: VF - Very Fine. After the success of The Princess and the Frog, Will Eisner continues his series of adaptations of classic tales for readers of all ages with this charming and humorous rendition of Cervantes' Don Quixote. Quixote was quite a gentleman, a man of honour and an idealist. Even though he was completely mad - seeing windmills as his enemy, and attacking them at every opportunity - it was his selflessness and gallantry that made the Man of La Mancha such a legend as retold by his faithful friend and servant Sancho Panza. 'The Last Knight' is a touching story given new edge by the beautiful colour illustrations and a unique interpretation written by a master storyteller. This copy is numbered (#134/300) and signed by Will Eisner in pencil. 32 pages. Size: 9" x 11" (220mm x 290mm). ISBN: 1561632511. (1.5 WEISNERTLK01).

Paperback. Condition: Fine. Will Eisner (illustrator). Soft Cover. Baronet 1978. Signed by Will Eisner Signed. 1st Edition. Book condition: F - Fine. Part Colour illustrations. American cartoonist Will Eisner popularized graphic novels within the comics community after the publication of A Contract with God in 1978. It is a short story cycle that revolves around poor Jewish characters who live in a tenement in New York City. Though the term "graphic novel" did not originate with Eisner, the book is credited with popularizing its use by printing "A Graphic Novel by Will Eisner" on the cover. Published quietly in 1978, Will Eisner's revolutionary literary work A Contract With God marked the invention of the modern graphic novel. A mesmerizing fictional chronicle of a universal American experience, it inspired a generation of sequential artists. Through a quartet of four interwoven stories, A Contract With God expresses the joy, exuberance, tragedy, and drama of life on the mythical Dropsie Avenue in the Bronx. This edition uses all-new, high-resolution reproductions of Eisner's original artwork, bringing new clarity and immediacy to Eisner's writing, illustration, and composition. Crafted with the highest fidelity to Eisner's artistic vision, the volume offers a beautiful, collectible way to experience the legendary book that launched a new art form and established Eisner as one of the great pioneers of American graphics.
