Will Eisner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2569 words) |
 | Eisner was born in Brooklyn, New York, the son of Jewish immigrants — his father was a former painter, marginally successful entrepreneur, and one-time manufacturer in Manhattan's Seventh Avenue garment district. |
| Eisner's rumpled, masked hero (with his headquarters under the tombstone of his supposedly deceased true identity, Denny Colt) and his gritty, detailed view of big-city life (based on Eisner's Jewish upbringing in New York City) both reflected and influenced the noir outlook of movies and fiction in the 1940s. |
| With Jack Kirby, Robert Crumb, Harvey Kurtzman, Gary Panter and Chris Ware, Eisner was among the artists honored in the exhibition "Masters of American Comics" at the Jewish Museum in New York City, New York, from Sept. 16, 2006 to Jan. 28, 2007. |

| Although Eisner is the second largest stockholder in the Walt Disney Company, new CEO Robert Iger appears eager to reduce Eisner's remaining influence at the company. |
| Eisner was the largest shareholder in Disney ([2]) until the terms of the Pixar acquisition resulted in Steve Jobs becoming the largest stockholder. |
