A Contract With God: And Other Testament Stories

Rating:
Summary: The Essential Graphic Novel
Review: Probably the best book by the inventor of the graphic novel, Will Eisner. His stories of 'normal' people are some of the best things I have read. They touch you on so many emotional levels and are yet so simple. A Masterpiece.

Summary: Jewish fables from the grand master
Review: Will Eisner is, unquestionably, the best comics artist in the world. This book is historically significant because it is called "the first graphic novel." Four stories, each with their own pacing, visual style, and themes.

This would make a great gift for anyone who likes comics or Jewish stories. There is, however, nudity and sex (which is treated with the utmost realism -- this isn't pornography!), so beware of that.

This and all other Eisner is highly, highly recommended. // koby c.
