Losing a Legend
One of the greatest and most influential artists of the last century has died. Will Eisner, creator of The Spirit, died Monday follwing quadruple bypass surgery.
Eisner's work has influenced several generations of comic artists, from Steve Ditko through Alan Moore and beyond. His impact on the industry is plainly evident from the fact that the most prestigious award in all of comic art, the Eisner, is named for him.
Eisner will most definitely be missed, but his presence will continue to be felt as long as people put ink to paper to tell stories about heroes.
