Will Eisner

Dropsie Avenue

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

In Dropsie Avenue: The Neighborhood, Eisner graphically traces the social trajectory of this mythic avenue over four centuries, creating a sweeping panorama of the city and its waves of new residents, whose stories present an unending “story of life, death, and resurrection.”


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.
