Ett hus i Bronx

Will Eisner’s Ett hus i Bronx, published by Carlsen/if in Sweden from 1979 onward, is a single-issue translation of his classic graphic novel A Contract with God. This landmark work, written by Eisner and Dagny Dahlberg, is often credited with popularizing the term "graphic novel" in the United States. Through four linked stories set in a 1930s Bronx tenement, Eisner’s evocative art and poignant storytelling capture the hopes, tragedies, and resilience of its immigrant residents. It matters as a foundational text of the medium, showcasing Eisner’s mastery of sequential art and his deep humanism.
