One of four extraordinary graphic novels celebrating the Big Apple, from the master of American comics art. A haunting trio of stories about life’s forgotten shut-ins in the tradition of Kafka, Gogol, and Melville.
A Tribute to Those We Pass By and Don't See The genius of graphic books has done it again. With a combination of pictures that genuinely are worth a thousand words and a brilliant dialog, this collection contains the stories of 3 individuals, a spinster librarian, a schlub with miraculous healing powers who can still not make much of his life, and a presser whose mistaken obituary leads to the downfall of what little luck he had. Eisner is able to display these lives with a poignancy that makes us care about these "invisible people" in way that we don't about the real life ones we pass by.
