wwnorton:

Happy birthday to Will Eisner, who was born in 1917 and died in 2005;  he would have been 96 today. Neil Gaiman called him “an American storyteller, like Ray Bradbury, like O. Henry,” and Wizard magazine named Eisner “the most influential comic artist of all time.”

Visit the Will Eisner Week website for listings of celebrations across the country.

Happy Birthday, Will. I miss you.

    Happy Birthday to the true pioneer of the graphic novel. If you don’t know Eisner’s work, spend some time and dig in.
