Author : Amelia Mar 16,2025

Will Eisner, a giant in the world of comic book art, deserves a place on any Mount Rushmore of the medium. His groundbreaking work is now being celebrated at New York's Philippe Labaune Gallery. The exhibition showcases original artwork from Eisner's iconic creations, including The Spirit and A Contract with God.

Below is a sneak peek at some Spirit pages from the "Tarnation" story featured in the exhibition:

The Philippe Labaune Gallery's Will Eisner Exhibit spans his entire career, from 1941 to 2002. It features pages from The Spirit, New York: The Big City, and a near-complete presentation of his seminal graphic novel, A Contract with God: The Super.

"Will Eisner's The Spirit, first published in 1940, revolutionized comics with its innovative style," says Labaune. "His cinematic techniques—dynamic panel layouts, varied perspectives, clever transitions—transformed storytelling. Eisner masterfully used visual symbolism, enriching the artwork with layers of meaning. His use of splash pages and fluid page designs created a more immersive experience, setting new standards for comic art and showcasing the medium's potential for sophisticated narratives."

The Will Eisner Exhibit opens Thursday, February 13th, with a reception from 6pm to 9pm ET. It runs through Saturday, March 8th. The Philippe Labaune Gallery is located at 534 West 24th Street in New York and is open Thursday through Saturday, 10am to 6pm ET.
