During his sixty-year-plus career, Eisner introduced the now-traditional mode of comic book production; championed mature, sophisticated storytelling (especially through his unforgettable creation “The Spirit” and subsequent books); advocated using comics in education; pioneered the now-popular “graphic novel,” and became an inspiration for generations of artists.
The movie includes interviews with Eisner and many of the foremost creative talents in America, including Kurt Vonnegut, Michael Chabon, Jules Feiffer, Jack Kirby, Art Spiegelman (who also narrates the movie), Frank Miller, Stan Lee, Gil Kane, and many others.
