- **Event Description**: Will Eisner (March 6, 1917 - January 3, 2005) was an artist, writer, cartoonist, educator, publishing entrepreneur, and an early advocate for comics as literature and art. Eisner was born in NYC to a poor immigrant family, and during his nearly eight decades-long career, he co-founded an early comics packaging company, created The Spirit Sunday newspaper section, developed the use of comics to train GI's and workers, taught cartooning at the New York School of Visual Arts, and wrote 15 graphic novels and 3 sequential art textbooks. 

In honor of Eisner's achievements, Will Eisner Week 2017 will take place from March 1 - 7 in more than 50 cities worldwide. During this week, univerities and stores will be celebrating graphic novels, sequential art, free speech, and the amazing legacy of Will Eisner, one of the most innovative figures in the history of comics and graphic novels. Will Eisner Week focuses not only on Eisner’s artistry, but also on his belief in free speech and comics as literature. Below is the current comprehensive list of special events taking place both nationally and internationally.

We here at Childs' Play: Games & Geekery will be celebrating by having some of his works featured like "A Contract with God" and the latest comic based on his character, "The Spirit: The Corpse Maker".  Come check out this celebrated and cherished comic creator!
