How To Get Your Copy Of The Comic Industry All-Star 'The Spirit Of Eisner' Newspaper
It saw its unofficial debut at Thought Bubble and its official debut at the Lakes Comic Art Festival.
The Spirit Of Eisner newspaper was commissioned to mark the 100th year of Will Eisner's birth, a celebratory broadsheet newspaper comic, created in a style that homages Will Eisner's original work on the title in his 16 page comics supplement that ran for 12 years from 1940 until 1952 in the United States.
But if you didn't make it to either show, you still have a postal opportunity to pick up a copy of this amazing compilation for £5 plus 89 pence postage in the UK from Page 45. or another £5.20 for the rest of the world. It's worth it.
Featuring a cover by Becky Cloonan, officially sanctioned by the Will Eisner estate, this 12-page broadsheet, co-ordinated by artist and Festival patron Sean Phillips features comic strips… and here is a first sneak peek at a few panels from each.
