Organized in collaboration with Denis Kitchen and the Eisner estate, the exhibition honors Will Eisner’s artistic vision and significant contributions to the medium, offering an opportunity to experience firsthand the creativity and innovation behind his iconic work. In addition to war-time drawings, pages from Eisner’s beloved The Spirit, and New York The Big City comic strips, the exhibit will feature an almost complete sequential presentation of A Contract With God: The Super. Known as the father of the graphic novel, Will Eisner’s comic career began when his cartoons were featured in 1936’s Wow Magazine. From there, the pioneering artist and writer went on to create the fan-favorite hero The Spirit and help shape the comic book medium as we know it today. A Contract with God is considered to be the first modern graphic novel and remains the holy grail of sequential art. Written a few years after losing his young daughter to leukemia, A Contract with God is Eisner’s most personal work composed of 4 stories set in a Tenement in the Bronx. “The Super” is a dark and touching exploration of the tensions between the tenants and their superintendent that reminds readers that nothing is as simple as it seems. Eisner’s passion for the comic form and profound empathy are visible on every page. “Eisner believed that the power of comics lies in their ability to communicate complex ideas through both words and images,” said Philippe Labaune. “Eisner’s innovations were not confined to his own craft; he was also a teacher and advocate for the comic book medium as a serious art form. His educational efforts helped bridge the gap between comic books and fine art, making him a central figure in the movement to elevate comics as legitimate literary endeavors.” The Philippe Labaune gallery is located at 534 West 24th Street in New York and is open from Thursday through Saturday, from 10am to 6pm. The roots of Philippe Labaune Gallery have a strong European influence: among the artists are esteemed creators such as Lorenzo Mattotti, Nicolas de Crécy, Guido Crepax, Dave Mckean or François Schuiten. In recent years, American artists such as Landis Blair, Rebecca Leveille Guay, Frank Miller, and Peter de Sève have helped Philippe Labaune Gallery to foster a community of overlapping art collectors and comic fans from all over the world. The Will Eisner Exhibit will be open to the public from Thursday, February 13, to Saturday, March 8. There will be an opening reception on February 13 from 6 PM to 9 PM.

Gracie’s Ghost weaves the heartwarming tale of an eccentric kid navigating the perilous landscape of school and family life—with the help of her guardian ghost. Divided into brief, self-contained stories connected by themes about sibling rivalry, empathy, and bullying, Gracie's Ghost is a sweet and emotional book, reminiscent of Calvin & Hobbes, The Girl and the Glim, and Sheets. " Gracie's Ghost is sort of a fictionalized version of events that really happened to me, and I wrote this book for kids who haven't always had the easy road," said Brown. "Whatever their challenge is, they are not alone." The perfect read for tweens and middle schoolers, Gracie’s Ghost will charm any reader who’s ever felt like a little bit of an outsider or sought the counsel of a good imaginary friend. The Gracie’s Ghost original graphic novel (ISBN: 9781534331334) will be in 6x9" trim size paperback format and available at local comic book shops on Wednesday, September 10 and independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, and Indigo on Tuesday, September 23.

DAISY RIDLEY PROVIDES STAR WARS UPDATE (AND PROMISES THE STORY IS GOOD)02/10/25 @ 1:02 pm EST Source: ComicBook | Categories: Star Wars | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a Comment The story of Rey is going to continue in a new Star Wars movie, tentatively titled Star Wars: New Jedi Order. For now, that’s all is known about the film, other than the fact that Daisy Ridley will return to star and that it’s being directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy. After a couple of different writers have had their names attached to the project, Ocean’s Twelve scribe George Nolfi is putting the screenplay together, and Ridley feels like the whole thing is moving in the right direction. “I have not read the latest script, but I know what’s happening, and I know the story, and I think what feels really good is that George is a phenomenal writer,” Ridley told ComicBook.com. “I think we’re making sure that this story is the best way, this script is the best way to tell the story, and I think it will be worthwhile. for everyone watching it, and I am very excited, yeah.” New Jedi Order is going to follow Rey’s journey after the events of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, but what the galaxy looks like in that time period we have no idea. This will basically be uncharted territory for the Star Wars franchise.

    WHEN MARVEL TEAMED WITH THE NFL02/09/25 @ 1:40 pm EST Source: Marvel.com | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a CommentBeing that today is the big game in the NFL, but we talk about comics here. I short reminder of when comics and football tried to work together and how it didn’t go so well. Let’s talk about the NFL SuperPro comic. It was a short-lived series published by Marvel Comics in collaboration with the NFL from 1991 to 1992 originally written by Fabian Nicieza and drawn by Jose Delbo. The main character, Phil Grayfield, is an ex-NFL player who gains superpowers after a freak accident involving a chemical fire. He then dons a near-indestructible football uniform and becomes the superhero SuperPro. The comic aimed to address topical issues like drug abuse, but it wasn't well received and is often considered one of the worst comics in Marvel's history. It only lasted for 12 issues and a special edition. The sixth issue is probably the most famous, or rather infamous, as it depicted sacred Native American icons in a violent misrepresentation causing Hopi councilmen to demand a recall of the issue which Marvel agreed to but many remained in the market. Hard to believe that was only three decades ago. Enjoy the game! JAMES GUNN ANSWERS HAWKGIRL'S WINGS QUESTION02/09/25 @ 1:20 pm EST Source: Threads | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a CommentOne of the most confusing things in comics is the history of Hawkman and Hawkgirl. The characters have been changed so much it’s hard to keep track of whether they are aliens or ancient Egyptians. With Isabel Merced about to play Kendra Saunders, a modern version of Hawkgirl, in the upcoming Superman movie a fan asked James Gunn if Hawkgirl’s wings were going to be organic or mechanical in the new movie. His answer was simply, “Organic”. And while that answered the specific question it opened up a pandora’s box of questions for fans as most iterations of Hawkgirl all have wings that are made of Nth metal and not organic. The Golden Age version, Shiera Sanders Hall, had wings that were part of an Nth metal artifact. The Silver Age version, Shayera Hol, had wings that were part of her uniform and made of Nth metal. And more modern versions like Kendra Saunders have wings made of Nth metal. Would being made of Nth metal mean ‘organic’ to Gunn? Are they re-working the character’s history once again? We’ll have to wait until June to find out. |
