The publication of (the first title in this trilogy edition) A Contract of God in 1978 "marked the birth of the graphic novel". This is a collection of Eisner's stories set on Dropsie Avenue, the Bronx, NY. I cannot say I enjoyed this, it is not "enjoyable" - very dark, very messy of the "human condition", but I am glad to have experienced it. I consider it an historical document. #Dec2025 Book113
