	Comic creator: Will Eisner
		Will Eisner was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1917, as the son of Jewish immigrants.
		In 1942, Will Eisner was drafted into the Army and served his country by producing posters, illustrations and strips like 'Private Dogtag' and 'Joe Dope' for the education and entertainment of the troops, which appeared in publications like The Flaming Bomb, Fire Power and Army Motors.
		Will Eisner can rightly be considered as the godfather of American comics, not only for adding 'The Spirit' to the long list of brilliant American comic strips, but especially for proving that comics can match literature and are not just a dubious means of entertainment for children (as people thought in the 1950s).

	Condolences & Memories of Will Eisner (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
		I will gently caress the green card paper cover, read the titles of the adventures (I used to name them all) and remember my master, Will Eisner: our meetings in Brazil, our studio, in Florida at his house, the good moments we had with other artists and colleagues in congresses, shows and meetings.
		It's shocking because I think we all regarded Will as being so much more than a mere man. He was a giant, and his presence so overwhelming to those of us who followed him in dedicating our lives to this profession, that it is impossible to think of him in the past tense.
		Will was something of a spiritual guide -- a courageous force that dedicated himself absolutely to the sequential artform and did so with a pride and seriousness that allowed those who followed to do the same.

		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.
		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.
		Published in November 2004, DC Comics’ The Will Eisner Companion is the first comprehensive, critical overview of the work of this legendary writer/artist.

	Will Eisner - a brief look at the creator of The Spirit
		Eisner decided to split the shop in 1939 when he was offered a syndicated newspaper comics section of his own (which would take all of his time to produce).

	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.
		Will was among the most envied craftsman in his field...admired for both his skill as a writer and artist but also for having a certain business acumen.
		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.
