Eisner, Will – The Dreamer

The Dreamer

I’ve decided that these are the books I’m going to get when I have a little extra cash at the end of the month Not that you need to know that necessarily, but that might help explain why this is the second review on the page for the next 2 years. This book is something else. Eisner was there at when comics were basically born, and this is the story of his experience, basically, put forth in a fictionalized manner. There’s a reason why the award for excellence in comics is named after him. I wish I knew more about the history so I could figure out who some of these people are supposed to be, but it’s a fascinating account regardless. The struggle to try and get comics made at all was a lot harder than I thought. If you haven’t been buying any of his stuff because you don’t know where to start, A Contract With God is still the place to start, just because it’s the first graphic novel. This is a great second book, especially at $7.95.
