In honor of the late, great Will Eisner, comics fans rejoice in celebrating Will Eisner Week from February 28 - March 6, 2010.

Eisner has often been called the father of graphic novels and had enjoyed a prolific career spanning 8 decades. He may be most known for his Contract with God trilogy about growing up in NYC, and The Spirit which is about a man who is believed to be dead but fights crime under the moniker The Spirit.

The most prestigious award given today in the comics and graphic novel world is the Will Eisner Award.  The award is given to Best Short Story, Best Publication for Teens, Best Writer, and Best Webcomic- just to name a few.

If you haven’t had the chance, read one of Eisner’s works (or any other graphic novel!) in celebration of Will Eisner Week!
