Both artistic achievements rewrote the book on sequential storytelling and had lasting impacts on all that followed them.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeatured within these pages are 17 Spirit stories all from Eisner’s peak period, 1946 – 1950, generally regarded as his best work on \u003cem\u003eThe Spirit\u003c\/em\u003e. Eisner is also considered to be the founding father of the Graphic novel, with the publication of \u003cem\u003eA Contract with God\u003c\/em\u003e in 1978. He is also the namesake of the Eisner Awards, the “Academy Awards of the comics industry, held each year at Comic-Con International.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAn Artisan Edition collects stories, covers and pages that have been reproduced from the original art. While appearing to be in black and white, these images have been scanned in color, allowing the reader to view them as closely as possible to the original art. Ink gradients, blue pencil, corrections, and more are all clearly visible, all the wonderful subtle nuances that make original art so special and unique. The only way to better view these pages if you were standing over the artist’s shoulder as they were drawn.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003c\/section\u003e  \u003c\/div\u003e  \u003c\/div\u003e  \u003cdiv id=\"mobile-also-in-series\"\u003e  \u003cdiv class=\"slot series-also-in 9781684059713 isbn-related show\"\u003e  \u003cdiv id=\"in-series\" class=\"product-series-also-in\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e  \u003c\/div\u003e  \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Loot Hoarder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53183129583984,"sku":"9781684059713","price":85.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/3085\/6304\/files\/9781684059713_1.jpg?v=1768640129","url":"https:\/\/loothoarder.com.au\/products\/will-eisners-the-spirit-artisan-edition-paperback","provider":"Loot Hoarder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
