Review

"...Eisner's illustrations are superb....This is an important, wonderful book." (starred review)

Publisher's note

The legendary graphic novel and the sequels that launched an art form.

With graphic narrative that "was closer to the writing of Bernard Malamud or Isaac Bashevis Singer than any comic art which had preceded it" (The Economist), A CONTRACT WITH GOD, originally published in 1978, was the first graphic novel: the prototype--along with LIFE FORCE and DROPSIE AVENUE--for such seminal works as MAUS and PERSEPOLIS. Set during the Great Depression, this literary trilogy, assembled in one volume for the first time, presents a treasure house of now near-mythic stories that fictionally illustrate the bittersweet tenement life of Eisner's youth. With nearly two dozen new illustrations and a revealing new foreword, this book ultimately tells the epic story of life, death, and resurrection while exploring man's fractious relationship with an all-too-vengeful God. This mesmerizing, fictional chronicle of the universal American immigrant experience is Eisner's most poignant and enduring legacy.

"An inspiration to several generations of cartoonists."--Art Spiegelman, author of MAUS

WILL EISNER (1917-2005) was the author of the legendary comic strip The Spirit. The comic industry's top annual awards, "The Eisners," are named in his honor.
