The exhibition spans Eisner's prolific career (1941-2002), encompassing pages from The Spirit, New York: The Big City, and a near-complete presentation of his groundbreaking graphic novel, A Contract with God: The Super.
"Will Eisner's The Spirit, debuting in 1940, revolutionized comics with its innovative style," says Labaune. "His cinematic techniques, dynamic layouts, varied perspectives, and masterful transitions redefined comic storytelling. Eisner's use of visual symbolism, incorporating background elements to reflect character emotions, added depth. His innovative page designs moved beyond rigid structures, creating a more immersive experience. Eisner's advancements set new standards, showcasing comics' potential for sophisticated narratives."
The Will Eisner Exhibit opens Thursday, February 13th, with a reception from 6pm to 9pm ET. It runs through Saturday, March 8th. The Philippe Labaune Gallery (534 West 24th Street, New York) is open Thursday-Saturday, 10am-6pm ET.
