A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

"He was a teacher and an innovator. He started out so far ahead of the game that it took the rest of the world literally 60 years to catch up." Neil Gaiman, The Guardian

Published quietly in 1978, Will Eisner's revolutionary literary work A Contract With God marked the invention of the modern graphic novel. A mesmerizing fictional chronicle of a universal American experience, it inspired a generation of sequential artists. Through a quartet of four interwoven stories, A Contract With God expresses the joy, exuberance, tragedy, and drama of life on the mythical Dropsie Avenue in the Bronx. This edition uses all-new, high-resolution reproductions of Eisner's original artwork, bringing new clarity and immediacy to Eisner's writing, illustration, and composition. Crafted with the highest fidelity to Eisner's artistic vision, the volume offers a beautiful, collectible way to experience the legendary book that launched a new art form and established Eisner as one of the great pioneers of American graphics.
