.-The Jewish Museum of Florida-FIU presents a new exhibition Will Eisner: Comic Creator, Illustrator and Innovator, featuring original illustrations, first edition comic books from The Spirit series, army works, graphic novels and self-portraits.
This exhibition and Eisners story and work are unique because they tell the story of not only one of the earliest and most prolific comic illustrators, but also the rise of the graphic novel, explained museum curator Jacqueline Goldstein.
Will Eisner, born in the Bronx in 1917 to Jewish immigrants, was the creator of the comic book The Spirit and is said to be the father of the graphic novel.
