		Eisner was persuaded to create a small amount of new Spirit material at this time, but despite a growing fan insistence for more, Eisner did not have much taste for revisiting what he saw as the heroic fantasies of his youth.
		Eisner has been cited as an inspiration by comics' creators from all corners of the genre, and his influence is seen as widely.
		Eisner demonstrated his strength of character and enduring physical wherewithal by standing on stage throughout the entire presentation, shaking hands and personally congratulating the winners.

	Floridian: An immeasurable spirit
		In 1940, Eisner created a goofball detective named Denny Colt who died (not really) and was reborn as "The Spirit," a cemetery-dwelling protector of the public - and pretty girls in particular.
		As Eisner's authorized biographer, I spent the last three years with him in his studio and his home (he spent the last two decades of his life in Tamarac, near Fort Lauderdale).
		Eisner's most recent books brought the prestige that this former resident of what he called "the comic book ghetto" had sought all his life.

	Disney Chairman Eisner Accepts Award
		Eisner received the Pioneer of the Year award presented by the Will Rogers Motion Picture Pioneers Foundation on Thursday night.
		The award came after board vice chairman Roy Disney resigned on Sunday after learning he would not be renominated for another term because he was over the board's retirement age.
		He blasted Eisner in a scathing letter, saying the Disney chief had lost his way and presided over seven years of decline.

	Movie Poop Shoot - COMICS 101
		The Eisner Awards are held every year at the San Diego Comic Convention (or “Comic-Con International: San Diego,” as it currently calls itself), where a gala banquet is held and the winners receive their Eisner Awards from the man himself, the legend, the man whose name the awards bear: Will Eisner.
		Eisner was revitalized in returning to the work, and began to alter his approach to the already innovative strip.
		Eisner uses full-page spreads to express the feeling of height when Gerhard is in flight, and as he does in many of his later stories, utilizes the narrator’s voice to provide a bit of poetic irony.

	The Eisner Awards

		The awards ceremony is traditionally held Friday night in a large ballroom.

		Will Eisner is to the comic book industry what Orson Welles was to the film industry — a maverick artist that pushed the bounds of his chosen form of expression and helped to reshape the medium.
		In the case of Eisner, his choice of expression is comics, or as he prefers, sequential.
		In 1978 Eisner wrote and drew A CONTRACT WITH GOD, the critically acclaimed comic that was the precursor to the contemporary graphic novel.

		Eisner recently had major surgery, but reports were he was doing fine.
		Eisner wrote from his experience and culture, as a proud Jewish American.
		The Eisner Awards promoters said, "Come on, Will, you shouldn't have to stand up all this time; here, have a seat." Eisner sat on it briefly, got a laugh out of it, but then he stood up again, and stayed on his feet the rest of the night.

	news from me - ARCHIVES
		Eisner, who died Monday evening due to complications following his recent heart surgery, was one of the most important architects of the American comic book...a medium that took life and form about the time he got into it.
		Eisner quickly sent back a polite thanks and at the bottom of his note, he took the time to draw a little sketch, which I just ran through my scanner.
		When the next award was announced, he was back in a vertical position to congratulate the recipient, not as royalty but as a peer.

	Cone of Ignorance: The Michael Eisner Award For Corporate Misgovernance (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Eisner's pioneering achievements in rapacity, have been so...
		In doing so, he revisits a few of the most egregious stories of corporate excess (ex: Tyco's Kozlowski's $6,000 shower curtain and Michael Ovitz $140 severance package for grossly mismanaging Disney), but the winner is Andrew Wiederhorn (whom, I must admit, I had never heard of before reading the article).
		The winner of the first annual Michael Eisner Award is Andrew Wiederhorn, the chairman and chief executive of the Fog Cutter Capital Group, a publicly held company based here in Portland.

	Will Eisner and The Spirit - A Biography and History of a Comics Legend
		Eisner taught comic art classes for years at the School of Visual Arts in New York City, and authored two definitive instructional books on the medium, Comics and Sequential Art and Graphic Storytelling, both perennial sellers with over twenty reprintings each.
		In 2002 Eisner received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Federation for Jewish Culture at the Plaza Hotel ballroom in New York City ---only the second such honor in the organization's history--- presented by Pulitzer-prize winning cartoonist Art Spiegelman.
		Eisner is also prominently represented in "Masters of American Comics," a watershed exhibition devoted to comic art, which opened at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles (11/05) and will travel to art museums in Milwaukee, Newark and New York City

	ConceptArt.org Forums - Will Eisner
		Eisner, who went to high school with "Batman" creator Bob Kane, provided first jobs in the comics business to everyone from Jack Kirby (co-creator of "Captain America" and the "Fantastic Four") to Pulitzer-winning writer and artist Jules Feiffer.
		For comic book professionals, the highest honor in the industry is either an Eisner Award, named for Eisner and given out every summer at Comic-Con International in San Diego, or a Harvey Award, named for Eisner's late friend Harvey Kurtzman, the creator of Mad magazine and Playboy's "Little Annie Fanny," given every April in Pittsburgh.
		January 5th, 2005 12:59 PM Eisner was the only living artist I could name off the top of my head who was a former pupil of Bridgman.

	Announcing an Award for Greed - New York Times
		Eisner's pioneering achievements in rapacity, have been so visionary in ripping off shareholders and aggrandizing themselves that they deserve special recognition.
		The winner of the Eisner award will receive a shower curtain, in honor of the $6,000 floral-patterned shower curtain that Tyco's shareholders unwittingly bought for their former C.E.O., Dennis Kozlowski.
		And that, I think, is the problem: Corporate America has nurtured a cult of chief executives, hailing them as geniuses and then excusing their misconduct and megalomania.

		As for the other winner of the award, the person who accepted it told us, "I'm not Frank Quitely," though her mezzo-soprano voice and knee-length skirt, among other factors, were dead giveaways.
		Here's a similarity between the Eisners and the Oscars: presenters and recipients of awards are often the same people.
		Eisner, Chabon said, "thought it was quixotic, doomed to failure, but sincerely wished me well." Chabon said that Eisner later confessed that after the interview he told Ann that Chabon was a "fanboy." Chabon happily declared, "I don't think anyone ever called me a nicer name."

		As is the case with the bulk of her late husband's better storytelling techniques, it's a lesson the artists that succeed her onstage largely choose not to follow.
		He repeats one of Will Eisner's better-known phrases, roughly: "I didn't invent comics, I was simply there at the birth." You know, I like that quote, but I always wondered what Mr.
		Eisner might still be in the pro registration line.

		So, thanks to Will Eisner, I have a career: a career as a comics artist in an industry he pioneered, as a storyteller combining words and pictures with a grammar he helped construct but mainly a career as a guy who introduces Will Eisner when he's given awards.
		About the only award I haven't presented to Will is the one given in my corner of the cultural shtetl for the past dozen years or so: the prestigious Will Eisner Award for Achievement in Comics (that's because those are given out in San Diego and they'd have to spring for a plane ticket)....
		In any case, Will Eisner has been the recipient of the Will Eisner Award at least three or four times and has even — like me — been inducted into the Will Eisner Hall of Fame.

		Will Eisner passed away on January 4th, 2005 at the age of 86 following quadruple bypass heart surgery.
		Although most commercial operations from Superman to Pepsi-Cola spend millions of dollars testing, proving and marketing their logos, Eisner thought it was more challenging to change The Spirit's masthead every week for 12 years.
		Later in the con I was introduced to Will Eisner by Nick Cardy, and I recognized him as the older man I had seen in the hall.

		And Eisner’s final — and likely most controversial — graphic novel, The Plot, finished last summer, will be published this spring by W.W. Norton.

		I left Eisner and Iger because I wanted an adult audience and the newspapers gave that to me. I felt doing the newspaper Spirit was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reach out and go beyond the classic 14-year-old reader.

		In late 1945, Will Eisner received his honorable discharge from the Army, and in December of that year he returned to his masterwork: The Spirit.
		What was to come forth from Eisner’s typewriter and pen would change comics forever, creating new methods of storytelling, developing new depths of characterization, and showing not only his readers but virtually every other comics professional at the time and to come that comics could truly become an art form.
		Eisner’s return to The Spirit was marked by a mature new sensibility, honed by his years illustrating U.S. Army posters and instructional comics.
