Will Eisner passes away

Post by Shadowscrawl »

I just learned that Will Eisner passed away. There was a man who lived through, and was a major influence of, most of the 20th century comics' evolution. I don't think that influence wil disappear now that he is gone.:(

Indeed; may all comic fans alike mourn his passing and the loss of his influence on the art.

Will Eisner was a talented and charming man. He was dedicated to the sequential craft and his influences were inspirational to many comic creators and readers alike. He will be sorely missed. My sincere condolences to all of his family.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Eisner at the awards several years ago and I am saddened by his death.

That is sad news. He will be missed, but his work will live on.

It's not really a comic but have you read Comics and Sequential Art by Eisner?
If that gets your grey matter sparking try Understanding Comics: The Invisisble Art and the follow up publications by Scott McCloud (comics about comics - they're cool!), if you haven't already.

In March, I believe, DC is releasing a collection of Eisner's work on The Spirit, his most popular work. Certainly worth checking out if you want to learn more about what the man was capable of.
