"Will Eisner: The Centennial Celebration (1917-2017)" at the Society of Illustrators surpasses all expectations. To see this much original Eisner art is a rare treat indeed. Photographs can hardly capture all there is to see. Fortunately, there is an excellent catalogue of the show. The exhibition runs through June 3.
