Will Eisner

Will Eisner is a great writer/artist to look at, especially if you're an aspiring comics writer or artist. After viewing his interview with Stan Lee, from Comic Book Greats, it is easy to notice that for Eisner, being a writer and an artist in the industry is one in the same for him. I like how Eisner breaks down the art of sequential storytelling, and how he takes it all back to instincts. I've always loved Eisner's work, especially his art style. It is the perfect blend of realism and cartoon, yet the fact that it can be really stylized, does not interfere with the seriousness of his work. There is humor, and there is also a very mature aspect to his work. Like most comic fans, I consider Will Eisner to be one of the founding fathers of the medium, and someone who is very influential. I hope that in 100 years, people in the industry will still be looking to him for inspiration.
