100 per Will Eisner

Il 6 marzo si festeggia il centenario di Will Eisner. Ricordo bene quando lo incontrai la prima volta, ad Angoulême. E quando venne a Torino avemmo modo di raccontarcela per bene… Figura fondamentale per il fumetto statunitense e mondiale, non solo per la sua padronanza del mezzo fumetto, ma anche per la sua capacità di divulgarne le tecniche e le strutture. Un Maestro per davvero, insomma. Il Cartoon Art Museum mi segnala le iniziative per il centenario e altro ancora. Qui di seguito per te.
