How
would you like to celebrate graphic novels?
And
sequential art (art that uses images in order to tell a story)?
And
freedom of speech?
Well,
then, you're in luck, because celebrating cartoonist and writer Will
Eisner, and his legacy, celebrates all of the above.
Born
on this date in 1917, Will
Eisner became one of the earlier cartoonists to work in the American
comic book industry. He was one of the innovators—one of the guys
who played around with comics and cartoons, who experimented, who
pushed comics into new topics and new forms.
Part
of that innovation was Eisner's graphic novel A
Contract with God.
Eisner also contributed to a scholarly study of comics.
Actually,
Eisner was so important in the history of cartooning and comics,
Eisner Awards the Comic Book Hall of Fame are
named for him!
