Join the Jewish Heritage Center and the Boston Comic Arts Foundation for a moderated conversation with Dan Mazur about the life of Will Eisner, one of the most influential artists in the history of comics, and his work to record it through the most appropriate medium: a graphic novel!

As he does in Will Eisner: A Comics Biography, Mazur will explore Eisner's Jewish immigrant roots and childhood in New York, how he started his own comics studio and business, the creation and publication of his beloved comic, The Spirit, and much more.
