The Plot: The Secret Story of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion

Will Eisner’s final graphic novel, published by W. W. Norton in 2005, is a meticulously researched and illustrated exposé of the notorious anti-Semitic forgery The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Eisner traces the document’s origins, its propagation by figures like Henry Ford, and its devastating real-world impact across a century. This single-issue work stands as a masterful capstone to Eisner’s career, demonstrating how comics can serve as a powerful tool for historical investigation and moral clarity.
