COMICS and SEQUENTIAL ART is perhaps one of the best books availble exampling the principles that Will Eisner pioneered. He was undoubtably a grand master of the communicative art form, and will be missed in the years to come. The Eisner Award is the highest honour a comic creator can achieve. Will Eisner's work continues to inspire not only creators in the comic industry, but also people involved in movie and television production as well.
