South Bronx, Dropsie Avenue

Will Eisner’s South Bronx, Dropsie Avenue (1995–present) is a single-issue comic from Egmont Ehapa that distills the master storyteller’s lifelong fascination with urban life into a concentrated portrait of a New York City neighborhood. Known for his pioneering graphic novel work, Eisner here returns to the fictional Dropsie Avenue, weaving a slice-of-life tale that captures the grit, resilience, and human drama of the South Bronx. Though brief, this issue stands as a late-career testament to Eisner’s unique ability to turn a city block into a living, breathing character.
