I was amazed to have won the Haxtur Award, and am pushing past Will Eisner to get to the stage. Posting because there are not enough photos of me and Will in the world and I miss him.
Gijón/Xixón, Spain, 1995.
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.
