eNewsletter No. 22

By Bob Andelman
Author, Will Eisner: A Spirited Life

An occasional source of information about legendary artist and writer Will Eisner

Watch for publication of the new authorized biography, Will Eisner: A Spirited Life, by Bob Andelman, coming in Late Summer 2005 from Dark Horse Comics¹ M press. But in the meantime, this newsletter delivers the latest breaking news about Eisner, his projects, personal appearances and his press clippings.

IN THIS ISSUE:
• Cover of Will Eisner: A Spirited Life Revealed
• Pre-Order Will Eisner: A Spirited Life Today
• Michael Chabon Writes Introduction to A Spirited Life; Appreciation of Eisner by Neal Adams
• DC Comics Celebrates Will Eisner in NYC
• Foreign Rights Information for A Spirited Life
• Will Eisner Links

PRE-ORDER ³WILL EISNER: A SPIRITED LIFE² TODAY
Three years after starting on this book, it¹s exciting to announce that you can now pre-order the book on Amazon.com. Order two; they¹re small:

That¹s pretty big news for me: here¹s an even bigger development for everyone else...

MICHAEL CHABON WRITES INTRODUCTION TO ³A SPIRITED LIFE²;
APPRECIATION OF WILL EISNER BY NEAL ADAMS

I¹ve read them and they¹re spectacular.

It¹s entirely a tribute to Will Eisner that these giants of their respective fields contributed the opening pieces to my autobiography. (Neither man knew me before this book.) When I interviewed Adams (X-Men, Green Lantern/Green Arrow, Continuity Studios), his thoughts seemed best suited to an appreciation and he quickly agreed.

There¹s an even better story to Chabon¹s introduction. He agreed to write it, then reluctantly begged off due to time constraints (little things like scripting drafts of Spiderman 2 and the film adaptation of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay). Dark Horse Comics Editor Diana Schutz stepped in and twisted his arm. Then, for good measure, Eisner himself spoke with Chabon on my behalf and offered an extra incentive that they previously discussed: a Spirit/Escapist crossover story he would contribute to Chabon¹s Dark Horse comic, ³The Escapist.² That story, which will be on sale April 13, was literally Eisner¹s last work.

In the coming weeks and months, I¹ll drop more details in this newsletter about what you¹ll find in ³A Spirited Life.²
