Fagin the Jew #[nn]
In "Fagin the Jew," Will Eisner reimagines the tale of Oliver Twist from the perspective of its most infamous figure, offering a deeply personal and provocative retelling. Through Eisner’s masterful art and narrative voice, the story unfolds as Fagin confronts the legacy of his portrayal in Dickens’s novel, revealing hidden truths about his past and challenging the morality of the tale as it’s known. The entire work—written, drawn, inked, colored, and lettered by Eisner—stands as a bold, self-reflective exploration of myth, memory, and reputation.
