略歴

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. William Erwin "Will" Eisner (March 6, 1917 – January 3, 2005) was an American comics writer, artist and entrepreneur. He is considered one of the most important contributors to the development of the medium and is known for the cartooning studio he founded; for his highly influential series The Spirit; for his use of comics as an instructional medium; for his leading role in establishing the graphic novel as a form of literature with his book A Contract with God and Other Tenement Stories; and for his educational work about the medium as exemplified by his book Comics and Sequential Art. The comics community paid tribute to Eisner by creating the Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards, more commonly known as "the Eisners", to recognize achievements each year in the comics medium. Eisner enthusiastically participated in the awards ceremony, congratulating each recipient. In 1987, with Carl Barks and Jack Kirby, he was one of the three inaugural inductees of the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame.

Will Eisner: Portrait of a Sequential Artist

Will Eisner: Portrait of a Sequential Artist

Arguably the most influential person in American comics, Will Eisner, as artist, entrepreneur, innovator, and visual storyteller, enjoyed a career that encompassed comic books from their early beginnings in the 1930s to their development as graphic novels in the 1990s. During his sixty-year-plus career, Eisner introduced the now-traditional mode of comic book production; championed mature, sophisticated storytelling; was an early advocate for using the medium as a tool for education; pioneered the now-popular graphic novel, and served as inspiration for generations of artists. Without a doubt, Will Eisner was the godfather of the American comic book.

Comic Book Superheroes Unmasked

Comic Book Superheroes Unmasked

Industry insiders like Stan Lee and Neil Gaiman (The Sandman) reflect on the way their colorful creations reflect society at large. They have spread from the pulpy pages of nickel comics to Saturday morning cartoons, the big screen and beyond. They have evolved from simple, All-American heroes to tortured, complicated characters reflecting the dreams, desires and fears of modern society. From Superman to The Sandman, Comic Book Superheroes Unmasked is a fascinating, feature-length look at the evolution of an art form that has proved remarkably adaptable and enduring. Filled with classic images from DC and Marvel Comics as well as extensive interviews with modern masters of the graphic novel like Neil Gaiman and Frank Miller (The Dark Knight Returns), this documentary, originally aired on the History Channel, goes far beyond the superficial escapist fantasies to probe the forces that shaped the characters who have become legend...

Himself

スーパーマン、スパイダーマン、バットマン、Xメン・・・。コミックスや映画、フィギュアなどで長年にわたって私たちを楽しませてくれるアメリカン・コミック。19世紀末にコミック・ストリップ（新聞連載のマンガ）としてその歴史をスタートさせたアメリカン・コミックは、1933年頃にコミック・ブック（雑誌形式のマンガ）となって出版される。コミック・ブックの刊行は「スーパーマン」や「バットマン」などのスーパーヒーローを生み出し、子供たちを熱狂させた。60年代後半にはロバート・クラムに代表されるカリフォルニアの作家たちによる、カウンター・カルチャーを反映したアンダーグラウンド・コミックスの波が押し寄せ、大人向けのコミックスも増加。その後、より自由で実験的なインディペンデント・コミックまたはオルタナティヴ・コミックといわれるジャンル、グラフィック・ノヴェルと呼ばれる書き下ろし長編のコミックスなども登場。メイン・ストリームのスーパーヒーローもののコミックスは徐々に売り上げが落ちて停滞するものの、相次ぐハリウッドでの映画化やキャラクターの商品化で世界規模のマーケットが確立されている。またアンダーグラウンド作品もメイン・ストリーム化してより広く知られるようになり、アメリカン・コミックスは今なお進化し続ける。
