Will Eisner's New York Life in the Big City - The Will Eisner Library

Graphic narrative evokes New York City's essence.

If the hum of the bustling city streets and the raw, unfiltered layers of urban life captivate you, then Will Eisner's portrayal through his vivid illustrations and poignant stories will speak directly to your soul. His graphic novels act like windows, offering you a glimpse into the heart of New York with a realism that's both nostalgic and timeless.

Description

An American storyteller, like Ray Bradbury, like O. Henry. With an unparalleled eye for stories and expressive illustration, Will Eisner, the master and pioneer of American comics art, presents graphic fiction's greatest celebration of the Big Apple. No illustrator evoked the melancholy duskiness of New York City as expressively as Eisner, who knew the city from the bottom up. This new hardcover presents a quartet of graphic works (New York, The Building, City People Notebook, and Invisible People) and features what Neil Gaiman describes as "tales as brutal, as uncaring as the city itself." From ancient buildings "barnacled with laughter and stained with tears" to the subways, "humorless iron reptiles, clacking stupidly on a webbing of graceful steel rails," Will Eisner's New York includes cameo appearances by the author himself; several new illustrations sketched by Eisner, posthumously inked by Peter Poplaski; and three previously unpublished "out-takes" - treasure for any Eisner fan, and sure to become a collectible. Introduction by Neil Gaiman.
