What is Will Eisner Week? I hear you ask. Well, it's a worldwide series of events, held from the first to the seventh of March each year, in libraries, schools, museums, comic book shops, bookstores, and other venues celebrating comics and sequential art, graphic novel literacy, free speech, and Will Eisner’s legacy.
Will Eisner (1917 - 2005) was a highly innovative and creative artist and writer who pioneered in the field of comics and graphic novels. He strongly advocated for the inclusion of graphic novels in library collections and sequential art on museum walls.
