Will Eisner and the Graphic Novel Revolution
October 06, 2018, 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Room 1B03 – Javits Center
Will Eisner (author-illustratator of Fagin the Jew, The Plot : The Secret Story of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion ; 2002 winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Federation for Jewish Culture) revolutionized comics with his pioneering 1978 graphic novel, A Contract with God. GN sales have now outgrown comic book sales and can be found in an amazing array of genres and styles. Denis Kitchen A Contract With God Curator’s Collection, Karen Green (Curator of Comics & Cartoons at Columbia), N.C. Christopher Couch (Will Eisner Companion), Dean Haspiel (The Red Hook) and Paul Levitz (Brooklyn Blood) discuss the evolution of the graphic novel and what the future holds.

From Magneto to Monica Geller, Felicity Smoak to Susan Ivanova, Jewish representation has had a spotty record in TV, film, comics, and beyond. Join the hosts of the Nice Jewish Fangirls podcast (Tamar Herman, SM Rosenberg, and Michal Schick) as they discuss the ups and (occasionally hilarious) downs in Jewish representation, and answer questions like, “Should Jewish actors play Jewish superheroes?”, "What stories get Jewish representation right?" and, maybe most importantly, “Seriously, is Wonder Woman Jewish?"
