by Will Eisner

Book Overview

Customer Reviews

Classic work

Eisner's artwork combined with the visual anecdotes and observations he makes in his book make this a truly superior work. It is also a kind of a snapshot of New York as Eisner knew it when he lived there. Not really a graphic novel, as it does not really tell an entire story, it is nonetheless worth the time it takes to read and browse. Would-be artists could learn much from New York.
