The exhibition spans Eisner's prolific career (1941-2002), encompassing pages from The Spirit, New York: The Big City, and a near-complete presentation of his seminal graphic novel, A Contract with God: The Super.
"Will Eisner's The Spirit, first published in 1940, revolutionized comics with its innovative style," Labaune told IGN. "His masterful use of cinematic techniques, dynamic panel layouts, and visual symbolism redefined comic storytelling, creating a more immersive reading experience."
The Will Eisner Exhibit opens Thursday, February 13th, with a reception from 6pm to 9pm ET. It runs through Saturday, March 8th at the Philippe Labaune Gallery (534 West 24th Street, New York), open Thursday-Saturday, 10am-6pm ET.
