WIIL EISNER SKETCHBOOK

Provides the first behind-the-scenes look at the creation of some of the greatest masterpieces of sequential art by Will Eisner. This is the first sketchbook ever published by the father of the modern graphic novel, sharing concept sketches, character studies, and fabulous cityscapes in a rich selection of drawings that show the evolution of his mature works from his initial working ideas to the final narrative. Culled from many decades' worth of work, the Sketchbook presents the world as seen through Will Eisner's eyes, with introductory notes for each of the eleven sections. From his observations of friends and loved ones hustling through their daily lives to witnessing those quiet moments when no one is supposed to be watching, Eisner's keen perception and steadfast hand capture the essence of what it means to be a true artist. Eisner's career spans the entire history of comic books, from the formative days of the 1930s through the 1940s. Out of Print. Condition: Very Fine Minus. Very light scratches on the cover.
