(no music right now)

Will Eisner, the man responsible for the term "graphic novel," creator of the anti-hero known as the Spirit, passed away Monday at the age of 87.
This might not mean anything to you, but if you have picked up a comic book in the last 30 years Eisner probably had a hand in influencing the better parts of each page. He was truly a master of graphic storytelling. If you have never read or even seen it, I suggest going to the bookstore, or even the library (they should have it), and look up A Contract with God. No superheroes, just four moving stories with amazing art.
