Revised Edition - 1st printing.

Edited by Gary J. & Susan Svehla.

Starting with Edison's 1910 Frankenstein through 2004's Van Helsing, this book stands as a testament to the durability of Mary Shelley's original novel. Whether we look at Frankenstein's Monster as the bogeyman, as metaphor, as kindred spirit, or as society's mirror, the fact remains that Mary Shelley knew not what she wrought during that haunted summer of 1816, and this volume is the latest effort in a relatively short line that tries to explain, looking at both cinema past and present, the meaning of Boris Karloff's immortal words from 1935's Bride of Frankenstein-"We belong dead!"

1st printing. By Bob Andelman. Introduction by Michael Chabon. Will Eisner's greatest legacy may be the graphic novels he championed and created. It is certain that Eisner is an American original who has made more innovations in the field of comics than any other artist, permanently altering the face of American pop culture. This beautifully illustrated biography explores the fascinating life of Eisner, detailing a career that exceeds six decades in which Eisner spearheaded the cause of comics for adult readers and created the first graphic novel, A Contract with God. His influence has been felt by such diverse talents as Jack Kirby and Batman creator Bob Kane. Underground comics legend R. Crumb and Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonists Jules Feiffer and Art Spiegelman have hailed Eisner's cinematic approach to comics and his enduring character The Spirit. From his childhood to educating Army soldiers to famously turning down a proposal for Superman, Eisner's personal and professional life is told in dramatic detail. Andelman spent almost three years interviewing Eisner, researching his life and work, and interviewing his friends, family, and the creative talents he inspired over a seventy-year career. Among those who spoke about either their personal experience with Eisner or the way in which he touched their careers were: Alan Moore, Dave Gibbons, Neil Gaiman, Denis Kitchen, Mort Walker, Chris Browne, Joe Kubert, Jim Warren, Roy Thomas, Stan Lee, Dave Sim, Joe Simon, Denny O'Neil, Joe Quesada, Patrick McDonnell, Jules Feiffer, and Neal Adams. This book features never-before published stories about Eisner's first partner, Jerry Iger, related by his great-nephew, Walt Disney Studio CEO Robert Iger. Michael Chabon, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay which is based in-part on interviews with Eisner, contributes a stirring introduction to Will Eisner: A Spirited Life. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 376 pages, B&W. Cover price $14.95.

Deep inside, she was golden, and her inner strength ultimately set her free. No matter what bonds hold a person back, be it a bad marriage, prison, a small town or a gang-infested city, there's away a way. The story of Anansi is an African folk tale, told by people who songs and stories carried the spirits of men and women throughout the centuries, though good times and bad. Cover price $6.95.
