Eisner

After reading Understanding Comics I was excited to read something by Will Eisner because he seemed to be the exception to every rule that McCloud put forth. He has a distinct and influential style. His drawings are both detailed and emotional, as well as full of action. I was continually impressed with how well he could portray emotions on faces since that is what I have so much trouble with myself. I think I am going to read Fagan the Jew, a graphic novel he wrote about Oliver Twist from the perspective of Fagan. Oliver Twist is one of my favorite stories and I would be really excited to see his visual portrayal of it.
