A gorgeous, collectible hardcover edition of Will Eisner's pioneering graphic novel to celebrate the author's 100th birthday.
Master of the Comics medium Will Eisner offers more of his imagination to his readers with this tale of real people simply experiencing life. Set during the Depression, A Life Force tells the hard-luck story of a tenement dweller living in the same neighborhood that served as the setting for A Contract with God. Eisner's everyman, Jacob Shtarkah, and his family and neighbors come to life in this moving urban portrait.
"This inaugural Norton Critical Edition of a graphic novel features Will Eisner's A Contract with God, originally published in 1978 from Baronet Press. Eisner's pioneering work draws on his upbringing in the Bronx to produce realistic narratives surrounding Jewish American culture within New York City's tenements. Excerpts from A Life Force (1988), Invisible People (1993), and Dropsie Avenue (1995) are also included in this edition, followed by Eisner's thoughts on the American graphic novel. "Reviews and Assessments" section presents the reactions of Eisner's contemporaries, selected from multiple art and comic journals of the time. "Criticism" offers modern analyses of Eisner's work in respect to art, race, and underrepresented history. A selected bibliography and chronology are also included"--
Frimme Hersh breaks his contract with God and ends up as a Depression-era slumlord, while Jacob Shtarkah strives to help an old friend trapped in Nazi Germany and struggles with poverty and the corruption of the residents of Dropsie Avenue.
