Will Eisner assignment for Tuesday, January 30



Eisner holds an enormous place in comics and graphic novels history, both as a creator and as a theorist, and across the decades: we'll see his strip cartoon _The Spirit_ in the 1940s crimefighter era, his theoretical writings about "sequential art" and his leap into the extended narrative form in the 70s and beyond, up till his
recent death.


Your task is to find SOME piece of information about him, by him, about his work from any point and in any vein, and bring it to us in class Tuesday.
