Excellent graphic novel as told and illustrated by Will Eisner. ( )

Þetta var ágætislestur, vel skrifuð og vel teiknuð. Sögurnar höfðuðu samt ekkert sérstaklega til mín og voru ekkert voðalega frumlegar. Persónusköpunin var hins vegar frábær og teikningarnar mjög lifandi og eðlilegar. ( )

The "first" graphic novel, Will Eisner's A Contract With God is an unapologetic look at tenement living in NYC in the 30s. Taken from his own recollections from his childhood, Eisner creates 4 stories that combine to create a novel that is both unique in its vision as well as brutal in its honesty. Told as much in pictures as in words, Eisner used this book as a stepping stone to creating a body of work using the then blossoming, now growing medium of the graphic novel. ( )
