Will Eisner week

1-7 martie a fost saptamana Will Eisner, considerat parintele romanului grafic cu lucrarea sa "A contract with God" din 1978 (plus multe altele care au urmat) dar si un "academic" al artei secventiale (termen pe care tot el l-a poplarizat) prin "Comics and sequential art", "Graphic storytelling and visual narrative" si "Expressive anatomy for comics and narrative" iar premiile "Will Eisner" decernate in cadrul San Diego ComicCon sunt cele mai ravnite in industrie. Eu vreau sa super recomand romanul sau "Dropsie Avenue" care e de fapt e o istorie a Americii prin prisma oamenilor care au locuit pe bulevardul Dropsie din New York, de la colonisti olandezi, germani si englezi pana la migranti evrei, italieni, polonezi, chinezi, sud-est europeni etc
