THE SPIRIT LIVES: AN EVENING WITH THE WORKS OF WILL EISNER
In 1940, Eisner created his most famous character, The Spirit, a masked crime fighter. The Spirit was the lead feature in an unprecedented format: a 16-page color comic book that was inserted in Sunday newspapers, the first of numerous Eisner innovations. More than a dozen years after he was already tabbed “a national treasure“, Eisner created the very first successful graphic novel with the publication of his seminal A Contract with God. The semi-autobiographical “graphic novel” revolutionized the art form, inspiring countless fellow professionals worldwide to follow. The graphic novel is now America’s fastest-growing literary genre. Since 1988, one of the comics industry’s most prestigious awards, The Eisner Award, has been named after him and is presented annually at America’s largest comics convention in San Diego.
