Will Eisner Reader

Front Cover
W. W. Norton & Company, Oct 28, 2008 - Comics & Graphic Novels - 81 pages
A commonplace clerk turns private eye. A lifelong failure attempts a marathon. An octogenarian hitman tries to settle an old score. The seven exceptional short works gathered here range from the grim to the hilarious, narrating the lives of the good, the bad, and the eccentric. Featuring "A Sunset in Sunshine City," Eisner's very personal ode to memory and nostalgia inspired by his transition to retirement in Florida, this book displays the artist's mastery of the short story form, as well as his acute understanding of family and friendship, betrayal and redemption.
