Will Eisner's Passing: One Year Later
This is what I wrote last year about Mr. Eisner:
Will Eisner probably understood sequential storytelling better than anyone else alive. His absence in our world will be sorely noticed.The first thing I did this morning, after the shock had worn off over his passing, was to draw. I don't think there's any way to better honor his memory than to make sure that the medium he so actively advocated will continue to thrive and prosper.
You know, the man finished his last work literally on his deathbed. That's a commitment to your art, and that's how I see myself going out.
But, going back to that quote, one year later, I think I'm off to a good start of honoring his memory, and in continuing to learn about who he was as a creator and as a man. What a Spirited Life for us all to learn from, and to enjoy.
