Entertainment Weekly Reviews "Life, in Pictures"

Review by Tom Russo

A collection by the late comics pioneer touching on his early career, family background, and reluctant "retirement"

For Fans of... The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay; Neil Simon's autobiographical works.

Bottom Line: Even Eisner aficionados will be struck by sequences in which he discovers friends' anti-Semitism. And in an unflattering look at his wife's family, he interestingly casts himself against type as a shallow opportunist."

Grade: A-

Labels: Entertainment Weekly, Kavalier and Clay, Life in Pictures, Michael Chabon, Tom Russo, Will Eisner
