In this course, participants will read selected Spirit stories, examine Eisner's innovative drawing techniques, and discuss why the stories are both entertaining and provocative.
Doug Rose taught "Comic Books as Literature" at SUNY Canton for several years and included Will Eisner's "Comics as Sequential Art" and "The Best of The Spirit" as required reading for his students.
