Ein Vertrag mit Gott #[nn]
In "1 Ein Vertrag mit Gott," Will Eisner crafts a poignant, quietly devastating story of faith, loss, and the fragile line between devotion and despair. Frimme Hersh, a man who once sealed a solemn promise with God on a stone, finds his life upended when a baby girl appears on his doorstep—only to be taken from him too soon. With Eisner’s masterful art and lettering by Dieter Kerl, this 1980 issue from Zweitausendeins captures a soul grappling with grief and the aftermath of broken vows, all rendered in the stark, expressive style that defines Eisner’s legacy.
In this poignant 1980 drama, Frimme Hersh, a man seeking a new life in America, makes a solemn pact with God on a stone—promising devotion in exchange for safe passage. After settling into a New York tenement, he’s confronted with a mysterious gift: a baby girl left on his doorstep, whom he raises with all the love he can muster, only to lose her to illness. The story, told with quiet intensity, follows his shattered faith and the turning point that reshapes his destiny.
