About the Author:

Will Eisner is universally acknowledged as one of the great masters of comic book art. His famous weekly newspaper comic book insert, "The Spirit," made him one of the most influential comic book creators of all time. In 1978, Eisner wrote and drew the pioneering graphic novel, A Contract with God. For 18 years he taught classes in Sequential Art at New York's School of Visual Art, and in that time produced eight more graphic novels. Will Eisner lives in Tamarac, Florida.
