A Contract with God The Will Eisner Library begins In 1978, Will Eisner, creator of THE SPIRIT and one of the most
influential comics artists of all time, revolutionized the comics field with the
publication of A CONTRACT WITH GOD AND OTHER TENEMENT STORIES, the first
modern graphic novel. Drawing on his memories of growing up in the Bronx in the 1930s,
Eisner created a series of moving, thematically related stories exploring the immigrant
experience and the struggle with life in a new nation. In April, DC Comics begins
reprinting the twelve books that comprise The Will Eisner Library, starting with
(appropriately enough) A CONTRACT WITH GOD. A powerful
generation-spanning story of love, anger, faith, and betrayal, CONTRACT is an
unforgettable work whose influence can be found in the best works that have followed in
its wake. In months to come, DC will publish Eisner's other acclaimed works.
