The exhibition, "The Will Eisner Exhibit," spans Eisner's prolific career (1941-2002), encompassing pages from The Spirit, New York: The Big City, and a nearly complete presentation of his groundbreaking graphic novel, A Contract with God: The Super.

According to Labaune, Eisner's The Spirit, debuting in 1940, revolutionized comics with its innovative style. His cinematic techniques, including dynamic panel layouts and symbolic use of backgrounds, elevated comic storytelling. Eisner's departure from rigid structures created a more immersive reading experience, setting a new standard for the medium.

The exhibition opens Thursday, February 13th, with a reception from 6pm to 9pm ET and runs through Saturday, March 8th. The Philippe Labaune Gallery (534 West 24th Street, New York) is open Thursday-Saturday, 10am-6pm ET.
