Biography of Will Eisner, 1917-2005

William Erwin Eisner was an American cartoonist, writer and businessman. A pioneer of the comic book industry and one of the most influential innovators of sequential art, Eisner studied art under George Bridgeman at the New York Art Students' League. His early employment was with Eve magazine; his first comic book was for WOW, What a Magazine (1936). He then founded a company with Jerry Iger, Eisner & Iger Studio (also known as Syndicated Features Corporation), to produce comics and comic related products and formed Universal Phoenix Features to market their work overseas. In 1939 Eisner joined Quality Comics Group to produce a comic newspaper supplement for the Des Moines Register-Tribune Syndicate, at which time he originated the comic strips The Spirit, Lady Luck, and Mr. Mystic. During the war, 1943-1946, Eisner as an enlisted man created a series of instructional cartoons for Army Motors called Joe Dope . He later went on to work on PS, The Preventive Maintenance Monthly. In 1950, Eisner formed the American Visual Corporation and for close to thirty years he was involved in commercial art products--office manuals and magazines in comic book format, giveaway comics, and educational materials. In 1973 he began teaching at the School of Visual Arts, and later published graphic novels, including A Contract with God and The Building. It was around this time that he began focusing on book length projects and is even credited with the creation of the term "graphic novel." Eisner is perhaps best known for the strip The Spirit, in which a masked detective fights crime. His work on the strip dates as follows: October 13, 1941 (first appearance) through May, 1942; December 23, 1945-August 12, 1951. While Eisner was away at war The Spirit continued to be ghost written by a studio of his trusted assistants. Reprints of the comic book appeared in 1966-1967; since 1972 Kitchen Sink reprints have been published. Among his many awards are the National Cartoonists Society's Comic Book Artist of the Year award, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1987. He received the National Cartoonists Society's Milton Caniff Lifetime Achievement Award in 1995. Eisner also received the Reuben Award, the National Cartoonist Society's highest honor, in 1998. A prestigious award, the Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards, was created in his name to recognize excellence in the field of comics. Eisner passed away on January 3, 2005.
