PopCultHQ’s Comic Book Review:
Will Eisner’s A Contract with God Curator’s Collection HC

Writing:

Will Eisner was and still is heralded as one of the greatest creative minds of the comics industry. Responsible for crafting in-depth narratives that excited the imagination. A Contract with God is a prime example of his writing style. Telling the stories of various members of a tenement on Dropsie Avenue, each one looks at these people’s lives and how they are impacted by everyday things. From money to love to work, life and death, all are touched within the building. This collection is a testament to Will’s stories and the impact they have made over the years.

Art:

Eisner’s artwork has always spoken for itself. It can be a mixture of things. Subtle and elegant, or loud and flashy. Or in the case of Contract with God, simple, but in that simplicity it conveys all the necessary things that tie into the writing. The lives of the people of the tenement, their lives and everything about them and around them. It may be colorless art, but that does not take away from it at all. In fact, the lack of color forces readers to pay attention to details that would normally go unnoticed. And that affirms Eisner’s ability as an artist and a legend.

PopCultHQ’s overall assessment:

Over many years, Will Eisner’s name and work have spun into legend. Now fans will get to enjoy one of his most pivotal works. In a gorgeous HC that is sure to bring endless hours of reading delight. The story, the art, it is all 100% Eisner-grade fantastic.
