Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
This volume of The Escapist collects issues five and six of the popular, Eisner Award winning quarterly series and features the late Will Eisner's return to the Spirit, in a crossover tale with the Escapist! Fans of classic comics will not want to miss what became Eisner's last comics work, completed just two weeks before the death of the legendary comics godfather. Also in this volume is the comics writing debut of award-winning author and Guggenheim fellow Chris Offutt, illustrated by Thomas Yeates. Dan Best and Eddie Campbell contribute a fully painted story from the 1939 World's Fair in Empire City, and 2004 Russ Manning Award winner Eric Wight brings a polemic story from writer Jason Hall to life. Among the other notable contributors are Howard Chaykin, Paul Grist, Shawn Martinbrough, David Hahn, Roy Thomas, Matt Wagner and indie stalwarts Jeffrey Brown and Jason!

I have just loved the books he has written and so I found myself buying everything with his name on it. These are fun to look at.

Out of the available volumes, I chose this one because
it features Will Eisner. Eisner's contribution was
creditable, but many of the others were disappointing.
Rather than letting the Escapist be the Escapist, some
contributors were too determined to superimpose their
own politics on him. It was interesting, though, to
see the Escapist as differently visualized by so many
different cartoonists.
