Editorial Reviews
Book Description
From the Father of the Graphic Novel. . .Fagin the Jewrecasts Oliver Twist from the perspective of Fagin. Eisner's fresh, compelling look at prejudice, poverty, and anti-Semitism portrays the notorious villain as a complex and troubled antihero and gives him the opportunity to tell his tale in his own words. Depicting Fagin's choices and actions within a historical context, Eisner captures the details of life in London's Ashkenazi community and brilliantly re-creates the social milieu of Dickensian England. Strongly recommended --Library Journal The Leonardo of the comic book form --Civilization

This renowned cartoonist's career spanned more than sixty years. His works have earned him a huge following among comic fans and great admiration among fellow comic artists. He is known as the "Elvis of comics" and the "father of the graphic novel". The Eisner Awards are named for him.
Fagin the Jew is a timely reworking of Dicken's classic, with a socially relevant message about racism and racial tolerance.
