Will Eisner (za vase uzivanje):)
William Erwin Eisner (March 6, 1917 – January 3, 2005) was an acclaimed American comics writer, artist and entrepreneur. He is considered one of the most important contributors to the development of the medium and is known for the cartooning studio he founded; for his highly influential series The Spirit; for his use of comics as an instructional medium; for his leading role in establishing the graphic novel as a form of literature with his book A Contract with God and Other Tenement Stories; and for his educational work about the medium as exemplified by his book Comics and Sequential Art.
In 1988, the comics community paid tribute to Eisner by creating the Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards, more commonly known as "the Eisners", to recognize achievements each year in the comics medium. Eisner enthusiastically participated in the awards ceremony, congratulating each recipient.
Some of his last work was the retelling in sequential art of novels and myths, including Moby Dick. In 2002, at the age of 85, he published Sundiata, based on the part-historical, part-mythical stories of a West African king, "The Lion of Mali". Fagin the Jew is an account to the life of Dickens's character Fagin, in which Eisner tries to get past the stereotyped portrait of Fagin in Oliver Twist. His last graphic novel, The Plot, an account of the making of the anti-semitic hoax The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, was completed shortly before his death and published in 2005.
Will Eisner died of complications from a quadruple bypass surgery performed on December 22, 2004 in Lauderdale Lakes, Florida.
Full Biography - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_Eisner
Eisner has been recognized for his work with the National Cartoonist Society Comic Book Award for 1967, 1968, 1969, 1987, and 1988, as well as its Story Comic Book Award in 1979, and its highest accolade, the Reuben Award, for 1988.
He was inducted into the Academy of Comic Book Arts Hall of Fame in 1971, and the Jack Kirby Hall of Fame in 1987. The following year, the Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards were established in his honor.He received in 1975 the second Grand Prix de la ville d'Angoul#234;me, the most important European comics award. The only other American author to receive this award was Robert Crumb in 1999.
In May 2002 Wizard magazine named Eisner "the most influential comic artist of all time."
In 2002 Eisner received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Federation for Jewish Culture at the Plaza Hotel ballroom in New York City ---only the second such honor in the organization's history--- presented by
Pulitzer-prize winning cartoonist Art Spiegelman.
With Jack Kirby, Robert Crumb, Harvey Kurtzman, Gary Panter and Chris Ware, Eisner was among the artists honored in the exhibition "Masters of American Comics" at the Jewish Museum in New York City, New York, from Sept. 16, 2006 to Jan. 28, 2007.
The Contract With God Trilogy
A Contract With God - 1978 / A Life Force - 1983 / Dropsie Avenue - 1995 - DC/Kitchen Sink - 58/49/78mb
While A Contract with God is not the first graphic novel, and nor is it the first to use the term, it is recognized by comic book industry and by literary critics as the standard bearer. It created in its wake a deeper understanding of the medium's worth and wide storytelling potential. It also served as an inspiration to younger creators, who in turn further developed the format. This has led to the acceptance of the graphic novel as a viable literary and commercial format for artistic expression. Eisner's initial attempt at a contained work of sequential art, while not inventing the form — and possibly by dint of being the right book at the right time, with another groundbreaking work, Sabre coincidentally published the same month — helped to popularize it and bring critical attention to a ghettoized medium.
Eisner saw the book as important in moving the comics form forward. "In hindsight," he wrote in the first edition's introduction, "I realize I was really only working around one core concept — that the medium, the arrangement of words and pictures in sequence, was an art form in itself. Unique, with a structure and gestalt of its own, this medium could deal with meaningful themes."
In the introduction to the 2001 reissue of A Contract with God, Eisner revealed that the inspiration for the title story grew out of the 1969 death of his leukemia-stricken teenaged daughter, Alice, next to whom he is buried. Until then, only Eisner's closest friends had even been aware that he and his wife, Ann Weingarten Eisner, had a daughter.

The Spirit / Outer Space Spirit - Kitchen Sink - 1983/1989 - (1-5/TPB) - 86mb/39mb
The Spirit (real name Denny Colt) is a fictional American masked crime-fighter, created by Will Eisner in 1940, who starred in a Sunday-newspaper comic-book insert. His namesake, seven-page weekly series is considered one of the comic-art medium's most significant and classic works, with writer-artist Eisner creating or popularizing many of the styles, techniques, and storytelling conventions used by comics professionals decades later. The stories ranged through a wide variety of styles, from straightforward crime drama and film noir to lighthearted adventure, from mystery and horror to comedy and love stories, often with hybrid elements that twisted genre and expectations.
Warren Publishing and Denis Kitchen's Kitchen Sink Press published extensive reprints, first as large black-and-white magazines (the Warren part of the run eventually having a color section), then as trade paperbacks. Kitchen Sink later did a complete reprinting of the post-WWII Eisner work in a color comic series, and started another series, which lasted only 10 issues, then intended to reprint the stories from the beginning.
Only issues 1-5 (of 87) of Kitchen Sink's reprints are being posted.

Comics & Sequential Art / How To Avoid... - Poorhouse Press - 1985(2001ed.)/1975 - 31mb/17mb
Comics & Sequential Art is an academic overview of the principles of sequential art (focusing on the comics form) by Will Eisner. The expanded edition includes short sections on the print process and the use of computers in comics. Examples are drawn from Eisner's own work, including several complete stories featuring The Spirit. It is a companion to Graphic Storytelling and Visual Narrative.
Comics & Sequential Art is based on a series of essays that appeared in The Spirit magazine, themselves based on Eisner's experience teaching a course in sequential art at The School of Visual Arts, New York City. However, it is not presented as a teaching guide, but as demonstrations of the principles and methods Eisner highlights.
The book is well-regarded in the community of comics professionals, garnering praise from the likes of Michael Chabon, Neil Gaiman, Jeff Smith, and referenced and expanded on by Scott McCloud in Understanding Comics.
The famed creator of The Spirit and the inventor of the graphic novel produced and self-published a series of "Gleeful Guides" in the 1970s that are little known to most of his fans. How to Avoid Death and Taxes... and Live Forever is a tongue-in-cheek look at the only two subjects which Benjamin Franklin said were certain in life. Filled with great Will Eisner art throughout. Created in 1975, three years before his seminal A Contract With God changed the comics medium forever. Published by Eisner's olwn Poorhouse Press.

New York: The Big City / City People Notebook - DC - 1981/1989 - 59mb/50mb
Will Eisner, responsible for two separate revolutions in comic art, set his sights on his hometown in New York: The Big City. These short (one to four pages) reflections and observations are grouped thematically by components of Eisner's city: Subways, Stoops, Windows, Walls, and more. As usual, he finds universal truths buried underneath urban waste and banal street conversations. Of particular note is his reverence for the joys of living directly, an almost Zen approach to sensory overload. His humor is at turns grinningly juvenile and starkly black. If he starts the book cataloguing things dropped down a sewer grate, he ends with dispossessed poor folks leaving a newly gentrified area muttering, "There goes the neighborhood."
City People Notebook is a collection of short pieces--call them graphic poems--grouped thematically under the headings Time, Space, and Smell. He captures the essences of these qualities as experienced by urban folk (even smell, a tough literary nut, cracks easily for him). His graphic poems are strongly reminiscent of the free-form pieces from the old Mad magazine, with a greater depth and maturity. Sometimes goofy, sometimes haunting, and usually insightful, Eisner's City People Notebook is a wise guide to the weird world of the urbanite.
These two books were later collected along with The Building & Invisible People into one large hardcover.

Princess & The Frog / Moby Dick / The Last Knight - NBM - 1996/1998/2000 - 9/33/32mb
Later in Eisner's career he began turning to the retelling of novels and myths. These three classics start that period. Some critics think Eisner's work here is too brief, cartoonish and inaccurate. Others love the simple joy of the tale told in this manner.

Life On Another Planet / The Dreamer - DC - 1983/1986 - 62mb/15mb
Life - What's going on out there? Will Eisner uses the idea of extraterrestrial contact to explore the weird happenings right here at home in Life on Another Planet. Serialized in the late 1970s and collected in the graphic-novel form that Eisner both invented and perfected, the story follows scientists, politicians, spies, and nobodies as they struggle to reach their own goals amidst this international crisis. The author paints his characters with broad strokes, and though his science is a little off base and his political satire dated, the novel still mines that same vein of deep truths that Eisner can find running through any subject.
The Dreamer - Will Eisner offers a revealing look at the early days of comics in this semi-autobiographical tale of a young comics artist's early shot at stardom and some of his stumbling blocks. The humanity of all Eisner's books is in strong evidence here, as we meet the other artists in the workshop where our dreamer goes to work: people with flaws and strengths, weaknesses and dignity, who just may be based on Jack Kirby, Alex Toth, Joe Kubert, and others from the dawn of the medium. Names are changed to protect Eisner's cohorts, however. If you're a fan of comics'
Golden Age, this is a book very worth checking out. This could be the story of any creator who worked for National, Atlas, Dell, or any of the other publishing houses of the time and dreamed of striking out on his own.

To The Heart Of The Storm / Minor Miracles - DC - 1991/2000 - 93mb/26mb
To The Heart - Structured around the induction of a young man much like himself into the army in 1942, Eisner's autobiographical graphic novel examines the lives of Jewish immigrants and their children in pre-WW II Europe and America. As young Willie's troop train heads south, his window is transformed into a view of his family's past, full of the suffering and blunt anti-Semitism that characterized the times. Willie relives the death of his mother's father, who had immigrated to America in 1880, and the dispersal of her family among relatives and strangers.
Miracles - Here, inspired by stories he heard while growing up, he depicts Jewish life in the New York City of his youth--specifically, how luck and coincidence converge in everyday life in ways that, in hindsight, seem miraculous. Those miracles range from a young immigrant outwitting a gang of bullies to the appearance of a mysterious, mute stranger who transforms the lives of everyone in a neighborhood by his very presence. In the most poignant story, a young couple, forced by physical disabilities to accept an arranged marriage, seems to find happiness, until another, deleterious miracle intervenes. Eisner, a master of pictorial storytelling, here relies, uncharacteristically, nearly as much on the captions as on the drawings and composition--a practice that emphasizes the fablelike nature of these tales set in a simpler era, when miracles seemed not only possible but essential.

Fagin The Jew - Doubleday - 2003 - 38mb
In Fagin the Jew, Eisner proves himself to be not only a master of comic storytelling, but also an incisive literary and social critic. This project was first conceived as an introduction to a pictorial adaptation of Oliver Twist, but as he learned more about the history of Dickens-era Jewish life in London, Eisner uncovered intriguing material that led him to create this new work. In the course of his research, Eisner came to believe that Dickens had not intended to defame Jews in his famous depiction. By referring to Fagin as "the Jew" throughout the book, however, he had perpetuated the common prejudice; his fictional creation imbedded itself in the public's imagination as the classic profile of a Jew. In his award-winning style, Eisner recasts the notorious villain as a complex and troubled antihero and gives him the opportunity to tell his tale in his own words. Depicting Fagin's choices and actions within a historical context, Eisner captures the details of life in London's Ashkenazi community and brilliantly re-creates the social milieu of Dickensian England.
"In its revisionist view of a classic literary villain, this is the John Gardner Grendel of graphic novels." - Booklist
