Will Eisner

    March 6, 1917 – January 3, 2005

    Will Eisner was internationally recognized as one of the giants of sequential art, a term he coined. Spanning nearly eight decades, from the dawn of comic books to the digital era, his career established him as the father of the graphic novel. Eisner, the creator of numerous iconic characters, pushed the boundaries of visual narrative and the language of comics. His innovative approach to the medium, including its use for military training materials and his pioneering work on the first modern graphic novel, cemented his legacy as one of the most influential figures in the field.
