Thje 'Contract with God' Trilogy

Will Eisner (1917-2005) saw himself as 'a graphic witness reporting on life, death, heartbreak, and the never-ending struggle to prevail.' The publication of A Contract With God when Eisner was sixty-one proved to be a watershed moment both for him and for comic literature. It marked the birth of the modern graphic novel and the beginning of an era when serious cartoonists could be liberated from their stultifying comic-book format.
