Will Eisner

A Contract With God

“Eisner was not only ahead of his times; the present times are still catching up to him.”—John Updike

A revolutionary novel, A Contract With God re-creates the neighborhood of Will Eisner’s youth through a quartet of four interwoven stories. Expressing the joy, exuberance, tragedy, and drama of life on the mythical Dropsie Avenue of the Bronx, A Contract With God is a monumental achievement, a must in the library of any graphic novel fan.

Born in New York in 1917, Will Eisner was the author of the legendary comic strip The Spirit. His fifteen graphic novels, as well as his posthumous history, The Plot, form the Will Eisner Library. The comic industry’s top annual awards, “The Eisners,” are named in his honor.
