New York The Big City

Check out the most recent addition to our Graphic Novels Collection, New York, The Big City by Will Eisner. In comic strip fashion, Eisner protrays a series of vignettes that examine nine elements of New York City: The Treasure of Avenue "C," Stoops, Subways, Garbage, Street Music, Sentinels, Windows, Walls, and finally, the Block. Although this book is written by a New York City native the elements he writes about could be found in other big cities. This book has been used as a springboard in high school writing classes.
