Will Eisner, considered the father of the graphic novel, made a significant impact with his 1978 publication, A Contract with God. This deeply personal work, inspired by the loss of his daughter, reshaped the medium. The Philippe Labaune Gallery in New York hosts a comprehensive exhibition celebrating Eisner's career featuring pieces from 1941 to 2002. The show includes notable works such as The Spirit, and The Super, along with war-time drawings, demonstrating his belief in comics as a powerful storytelling medium.
Will Eisner's A Contract with God holds a monumental place in the history of comics, marking the artist's deep personal loss with a transformative body of work.
The exhibition, in collaboration with Denis Kitchen and the Eisner estate, pays tribute to Eisner's artistic vision and explores the creativity and innovation behind his work.
