Fagin the Jew [Second Edition] #[nn]

"Fagin the Jew" presents a compelling visual and critical dialogue between two iconic depictions of a literary figure: George Cruikshank’s 19th-century illustrations of Fagin from Oliver Twist and Will Eisner’s reimagined version. Written by Jeet Heer and rendered in Eisner’s signature style with Cruikshank’s original art as a counterpoint, this issue offers a thoughtful appraisal of how perception and representation evolve across time. The cover by Will Eisner complements the thematic depth with a striking, period-accurate design.
