Covertekst
Will Eisner's To The Heart Of The Storm is an autobiographical novel that examines how the anti-Semitism a youth experiences in the America of the 1920's and '30's shapes his personality and life. This graphic novel is also a touching family history, told through flashbacks as the young man rides a troop train to basic training immediately after the entry of the Unite States into World War II. Poignant yet tough, uncompromising yet humorous, To The Heart Of The Storm captures a turbulent era in American history when the country was inexorably marching toward war, carrying along all its ethnic, racial and religious misunderstandings.
Will Eisner has been working professionally in the comics medium since 1936. Perhaps best known as the creator of The Spirit in 1940, he invented the graphic novel with A Contract With God in 1978. His other works include A Life force, The Dreamer, Will Eisner's New York and the textbook Comics & Sequential Art.
[He is in] complete control of both his writing and drawing and operating at the top of his form with the appearance of ease...
