Hub Comics welcomes local talents and friends-of-the-store Stephen Weiner and Dan Mazur for a presentation and signing on their new graphic novel, WILL EISNER: A COMICS BIOGRAPHY. Join us Wednesday, September 3rd at 7pm — free admission! The book is already now available at Hub Comics, too!

Explore the life of Will Eisner, one of the most influential artists in the history of comics through the most appropriate medium: a graphic novel! From his immigrant roots and childhood in New York, starting his own comics studio and business, and the creation and publication of his beloved comic, The Spirit, through popularizing the term “graphic novel” as the result of trying to convince a general trade publisher to publish the groundbreaking A Contract with God, you’ll follow along in Eisner’s life journey.

With the most prestigious comics awards named after him, Will Eisner is forever celebrated not only in what he created but his unerring belief in comics’ capacity to be better, to reach higher, to be a full art form in its own right. This is the life of this man of vision who helped to put comics on the map.

Stephen Weiner is the former Director of the Maynard Public Library and author of Analysis of Bone: A Look at the Jeff Smith Graphic Novel Masterpiece (previously published by Jeff Smith’s Cartoon Books as part of Bone: Coda). Dan Mazur previously wrote and drew two graphic novels, the self-published Hannabell Hobb and Her Horrible Heads (Ninth Art Press), and Lunatic: A Wordless Story (Fanfare/Ponent Mon).
