LITERATURE - EISNER, Will. A Contract with God. And other tenement Stories [...]. New York, Baronet Publishing, [1978]. 4to. Cloth with gilt title on cover and spine. A comic story, 4 parts. Signed and numbered on illustrated first free endpaper '1326/1500 Will Eisner'. Minor wear to the cover. (192) pp. Without dust-wrapper as issued. Artist or Maker: EISNER, Will. Notes: "A Contract With God (1978) revolutionised the comics medium with its publication in the late '70s and is often referred to as the first modern graphic novel, a term Eisner helped popularise. This semi-autobiographical work captures with pen and ink the drama of the city and its all-too-human inhabitants. Set in the same Bronx neighbourhood as later works Dropsie Avenue and A Life Force, the four stories that comprise the book - "A Contract With God", "The Street Singer", "The Super" and "Cookalein" - examine the world of immigrant life in New York City in the 1930s with a unique look at the emotion and character of its denizens. First published in 1978 by Baronet Press" (www.eisner.com).
