Big City

Will Eisner’s Big City is a single-issue graphic novel from French publisher Albin Michel, released in 1985. A masterwork of the form, it collects Eisner’s characteristically sharp, humane vignettes of urban life, capturing the grit and grace of the city through his iconic, cinematic storytelling. Though a standalone volume, it stands as a vital part of Eisner’s late-career exploration of the graphic novel as a serious artistic medium.
