Will Eisner's New York: Life in the Big City

Will Eisner's New York: Life in the Big City collects the master storyteller's four graphic novels—A Contract with God, A Life Force, Dropsie Avenue, and To the Heart of the Storm—into a single, definitive volume. Published by W. W. Norton in 2006, this omnibus brings together Eisner's pioneering, semi-autobiographical tales of tenement life, urban decay, and immigrant struggle in Depression-era New York. As the sole writer and artist, Eisner crafts a sweeping, compassionate mosaic of the city's streets and souls, cementing these works as foundational texts of the graphic novel medium.
