Chapter XL - Will Eisner: The Spirit of comics

To discuss Will Eisner (1917-2005) and his work missing space to explain all that this true legend bequeathed to the comic (which he renamed Sequential Art) as mass media. Creator of the first Graphic Novel in the history of comics ( Contract with God) and an innovator within the narrative (one of his first inventions was introducing his comics titles "embedded" within the drawing the bullet) is perhaps the most important cartoonist who ever lived (every year in San Diego, delivered the Eisner Awards the comics industry, something like the Oscars of comics )

In the forties created The Spirit to the American press, which was beginning to show off their first narrative techniques and visual experiments. Since 1978 began publishing graphic novels marked human and social court, still continue to experiment in narrative, regardless of elements of the comics, such as balloons and cartoons. Sequential Art taught at the School of Visual Arts in New York and wrote two books, which are global references on narrative explaining everything he knew about the art of making comics.

present himself Frank Miller (Sin City ) prepares his own tribute to Eisner adapted for cinema The Spirit, which is due for release in 2008 (I eager to see the first trailers )
