Nerdy wants his booky-wook

Got a shipment from an Amazon estore. The 3 Bourne books and vol 11 of Thieves World, which I'm pretty certain I was missing. Books are pretty beat up, but they were all listed as used in condition so no surprises.

Passing of a legend

Eisner dies after surgery

Cartoonist/graphic novelist Will Eisner died last night in Florida following quadruple heart bypass surgery. He was 87.

His newspaper connection included creating "The Spirit" insert for Sunday papers from 1940 to 1952. Jules Feiffer worked under Eisner on that comic feature from 1946 and 1951.

Eisner received the 1995 Milton Caniff Lifetime Achievement Award and the 1998 Reuben Award as cartoonist of the year from the National Cartoonists Society.
