Will Eisner (1917-2005) Champion of the Graphic Novel, was an artist, a cartoonist, a teacher, and an entrepreneur. Check out his graphic novels and textbooks.
@erasedangelface There were some old Marvel omnibuses my dad owned of stuff from the 60s & 70s I used to love reading & I eventually started borrowing graphic novels/trade paperbacks from the library, too. Will Eisner really knocked it out of the park with A Contract With God, I'll tell you that.
@jpalmiotti An excellent Will Eisner recreation. He had passed on by the time I’d discovered his excellent Sequential Art book.
I’ve seen some of his originals and it was an almost religious experience.

My thoughts on 'Will Eisner: A Comics Biography'. While not an action-packed tale Stephen Weiner does a commendable job of demonstrating how poverty and personal tragedies would fuel his first graphic novel. Thanks to @AnthonyMcIntyre for the platform.

Good morning, friends and neighbors! Today is Sunday, April 26, 2026. A good day!
This Vietnam Era (June 28, 1068) “Operation and Preventive Maintenance” manual for the M16A1 is on display at the National Infantry Museum in Columbus, Georgia.
From the placard:
M16A1 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE PUBLICATION
Identifying problems with the M16A1 rifle and specifying preventive maintenance measures to ensure the weapon was operational were addressed in this publication.
The description doesn’t mention that the cover art (and probably the interior art, as well) was done by the legendary Will Eisner.
