"It would be hard to imagine any creators who have had as much impact on their chosen medium as comics legend Will Eisner and Sin City creator and co-director Frank Miller. Now, lifelong comics fans and culture-curious readers are invited to listen in as the legendary innovator of sequential art and the modern master of cinematic comics storytelling discuss, in an intimate interview format, the ins and outs of this absorbing and often controversial art form. Often misunderstood, yet enduringly enjoyed by people from all walks of life, comics have in recent years been recognized as a "legitimate" art form by cultural institutions ranging from Harvard University to the Smithsonian, from The New Yorker to the Art Institute of Chicago. Eisner/Miller is widely illustrated, features rare, behind-the-scenes photos, and includes an introduction by Miller himself."--Back cover.
