About this Collection

This volume collects the second story arc of the Big City series, originally serialized in 1985, following the intertwined lives of various characters navigating the gritty, vibrant landscape of New York City. The narrative focuses on the struggles and connections of its diverse cast, capturing the essence of urban life in the mid-1980s through a blend of drama and social commentary.

Will Eisner's Big City #1 (1985) from Albin Michel presents a stark, atmospheric glimpse into urban life, rendered in Eisner’s signature visual style. The issue features a single, unnamed character navigating a dense, shadowed cityscape, with no dialogue or narration to guide the reader. Eisner’s distinctive artwork—both in the interior and on the cover—captures mood and isolation with precise, expressive line work.
