A MINOR WORK,
By Sesho "www.sesho.libsyn.com" (Pasadena, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Will Eisner Reader: Seven Graphic Stories by a Comics Master (Will Eisner Library) (Paperback)
This book consists of 7 comic stories from Will Eisner's Quarterly. The only sparkling story in the collection is the first, entitled "A Sunset in Sunshine City" in which an old retired cafeteria owner retires to a condo in Florida to spend the rest of his days with a newly made female friend. The problem is that his daughter's husband is involved in some bad business deals and needs money. So he schemes along with his wife to wrest his fortune from the old man. The other stories range from unfunny to cliched to just plain silly. Especially bad is "Humans", in which Eisner's ill-suited style is put to use chronicling our human-like ancestors as they hunt a mastadon and learn the value of cooperation. You can see the endings of most of the stories before they come. They're trite. I would not recommend this to even the most die-hard Eisner fan. Seek your entertainment elsewhere. |
