Life, in Pictures: Autobiographical Stories

Life, in Pictures: Autobiographical Stories

An intimate self-portrait of the American icon Will Eisner, and a chronicle of the career that launched a new art form.
In what will be the closest thing Eisner fans will see to an autobiography, the great master and pioneer of American graphic arts presents the most intimate and personal perspective yet on his life as a writer, a professional, and an artist. â€œThe Dreamerâ€ and â€œTo the Heart of the Stormâ€ describe Eisnerâ€™s gritty early life and career, while â€œThe Name of the Gameâ€ chronicles a personal history of his wifeâ€™s family. Finally, two shorter pieces illuminate the bookends of a legendary career: â€œThe Day I Became a Professionalâ€ â€•which will appeal to any hopeful young artistâ€•describes Eisnerâ€™s first rejection from a potential publisher, and â€œA Sunset in Sunshine Cityâ€ provides a poignant portrait of Eisner in old age. The book features famous characters from the world of comics (under pseudonyms, of course) and other historical figures and family members, all drawn with Eisnerâ€™s characteristic mastery and technique.
