The Street Singer

I read the Street Singer by Will Eisner and again blown away by his attention to detail. Almost every illustration has a surrounding environment which gives the subject a context and allows the viewer to become deeply involved with what is going on in the story. I like how some of the frames are not actually "framed" and uses the white space a round it to create the space needed for a successful panel. I think that a good comic strip artist has to draw really well as well as tell a story in a short concise way without watering it down. According to this graphic novel, he has done an amazing job.
