Dj fine; unclipped 19.95, protected in new clear sleeve. Will Eisner was a great master of American comics and the form he pioneered: the graphic novel. Eisner's last completed novel, The Plot is regarded as his most important - and final - work. In The Plot, Eisner presents a graphic novel account of the fabrication and confabulation of history. Richly, dramatically, and entertainingly illustrated. While 'its' provenance is questioned and criticized, there is no doubt that the structural annihilation of humanity is indeed proceeding from a similar agenda. Who's culpable is apparently grey among those on this plane. A graphically entertaining story by Will Eisner, the originator of the graphic novel. Or, the 'comic' book more fully supplemented w/more mature and richer content. Includes an introduction by the mysterioso, Umberto Eco. Humored, veiled exposure. It's 'all' here in this cheap book.

About this title

Synopsis

A work more disturbing than fiction from "the father of graphic novels" (The New York Times). "The ultimate illustration of how absurdly comical and cancerous The Protocols has been to mankind."–Thane Rosenbaum, Los Angeles Times Book Review

The Plot, which examines the astonishing conspiracy and the fabrication of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, has become a worldwide phenomenon since its hardcover publication, taught in classrooms around the globe. Purported to be the actual blueprints by Jewish leaders to take over the world, the Protocols, first published in 1902, have become gospel truth to international millions. Presenting a pageant of historical figures from nineteenth-century Russia to today's ideologues, including Tsar Nicholas II, Henry Ford, and Adolf Hitler, Will Eisner unravels and dispels one of the most devastating hoaxes of the twentieth century.
