Missed It: Stefan Kanfer Profiles Will Eisner

I'm not sure when this profile of Will Eisner by Stefan Kanfer appeared, actually, so I maybe didn't miss it but I suspect it's been out for a while now. It's a fairly straight-forward piece, but relatively nuanced, I think, as far as these things go. For instance, it acknowledges Eisner's contributions in bringing elements of the graphic novel together in sophisticated fashion as opposed to "inventing" the form. The graphic novel's journey to semi-respectability is a fun topic because there are about two dozen factors involved, including both the work created by Eisner and his grass-roots advocacy for a context that flatters what he was up to.
