A Life Force

“Eisner was not only ahead of his times; the present times are still catching up to him.”—John Updike



Called “a masterpiece” by R. Crumb, A Life Force chronicles not only the Great Depression but also the rise of Nazism and the spread of socialist politics through the depiction of the protagonist, Jacob Shtarkah, whose existential search reflected Eisner’s own lifelong struggle. (site editora)
