Summary: | Will Eisner, widely known as the author and cartoonist of The Spirit, an internationally syndicated comic strip and magazine, spent many years on newspaper and book publishing. He was also in the vanguard of those who applied comics to the industrial and teaching field. He has been responsible for "P.S.," the country's first and most successful military magazine that mixed facts and technical data with a cartoon presentation. He is a recognized master at combining fact, fun and fantasy. His private collection of trivia and odd facts grew to enormous proportions during half a lifetime of writing, drawing, and editing. It has inspired the creation of this unique book. Will Eisner's current surge in popularity is bolstered by his eagerness to try the new and venturesome. He can claim a long list of "firsts" ... of which this book is yet another example.
