Will Eisner died today – 3 years ago

U.S. sequential artist William Erwin Eisner was born on March 6, 1917 in Brooklyn, New York City, New York. He said, “The term ‘comics’ long ago became obsolete and inaccurate. It merely defined the content of the early joke-based comical strips. ‘Sequential Art’ is a more accurate description of the form. I first suggested it because I believed something needed to be done to correct the feeling of inferiority by artists and writers in this field." [And movies are sequential photographs and books are sequential dictionaries and songs are sequential piano tunings and...]... Mr. Eisner died in 2005 in Lauderdale Lakes, Florida.
