Will Eisner hands down revolutionized the comics industry and how they are thought about today. He strongly stressed the attitude that comics should be thought of as a form of art and not just a tool for cheap entertainment. His drawing style is amazing. It is hands down some of the best art for a comic I have seen. It gets the point that it is trying to make across so easily and his characters are so expressive. A Contract with God was a great story. I loved how expressive the characters were. It made them very easy to relate to. With this story I feel that he was pushing the boundary of what a comic is and really made it into a piece of literature. With this story he really successfully created the genre of the graphic novel. There is definitely a reason why The Eisner Award is the biggest award in comics. He really revolutionized the Graphic Novel industry and helped it reach the heights that it was at today. In contract with God the characters were so relatable. It had me tied down on an emotional level. The continuous story line (unlike that of the previous weeks comic strip assignment) kept me locked into my seat reading this wonderful piece of literature. I enjoyed Eisner an lot.
