Will Eisner, 87

Will Eisner, 87
March 6, 1917 - January 3, 2005

I'm a comicbook newbie - I know who Todd McFarlene, John Byrne and Frank Miller are and I know that they were influenced by Will Eisner.

Eisner had been in the industry since 1940 with his landmark series called "The Spirit".
An annual award named after him "The Eisner" is one of the most prestigious awards in the comic book industry.

Passed away in Florida after a quadruple bypass surgury.
