A Talk with the Masters
Eisner/Miller
Interview conducted by Charles Brownstein
Dark Horse Books, 352 pages, $19.95
So? Following in the tradition of “Hitchcock/Truffaut” comes this massive, rambling conversation about the art and business of comics between two giants of the field. And the results are fascinating as the conversation — recorded in 2002 at Eisner’s home in Florida — veers from the sexiness of inking to Stan Lee to navigating the business of comics. That two greats can disagree as often as these two do and still be respectful and great friends testifies to the respect these two have earned from each other and their audiences. Anyone who’s a fan of either artist or comics in general will find a treasure trove of fascinating material in these discussions, such as the creative process in which Eisner, who works page by page, is fascinated by the multiple passes Miller took at the pages of “Sin City: Family Values.” Miller is influenced most by cinema; Eisner by theater. Both see amazing potential in the medium and its future. With the book nicely illustrated with examples of each artist’s work and photos of their conversation, this is an essential addition to the bookshelf of any comics fan. Grade: A+
