The exhibition spans Eisner's prolific career (1941-2002), featuring pages from The Spirit, New York: The Big City, and a near-complete presentation of his groundbreaking graphic novel, A Contract with God: The Super.
According to Labaune, Eisner's 1940 The Spirit revolutionized comics with its innovative style. His cinematic techniques, including dynamic panel layouts and symbolic visuals, created a more immersive and sophisticated reading experience. Eisner's work pushed the boundaries of the medium, demonstrating its potential for complex storytelling.
