Will Eisner Week: The Tao of Will

Hard work. Skill. Self-Confidence. Hustle. Something to Say. These were the qualities that defined Will Eisner’s personal ethic. Eisner/Miller author and CBLDF executive director Charles Brownstein shows how the values Will Eisner lived by hold the key to unlocking one’s own personal potential.

Will Eisner Week: The Spirit of Comic-Con

From the first time he was a guest of the show in 1975, until his death in 2005, Will was an integral part of the Comic-Con family, investing in the community and professional institutions of the show. Besides always being onstage to hand out trophies at the Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards, he spearheaded the Eisner Spirit of Comics Retailer Award, appeared on programs, did signings and always made time to encourage aspiring creators and fans. Sharing personal photos and reminiscences, Eisner Awards administrator Jackie Estrada shows you the Will Eisner she knew.

Do you teach with comics? Do you want to, but don’t know where to begin? Do you want to meet others who share a passion for comics in schools and libraries? This is the panel for you! Join CBLDF education contributor Betsy Gomez for an overview of the current landscape of comics and education, featuring Jewyl Clarke (integrated curriculum coordinator, San Diego County Office of Education), Erwin Magbanua (principal librarian, Chula Vista Public Library), and Karen Evans. Starting with his military service in World War II, Will Eisner was one of the earliest champions of the educational potential of comics; nothing would make him happier than being in a room full of teachers who share his values.

Life Forces: The Art of the Comics Memoir

Will Eisner pioneered the American comics memoir with To The Heart of the Storm, The Dreamer, and a host of semi-autobiographical graphic novels. A generation later, the genre is thriving, with stories for all walks of life by a diverse field of creators with a wide range of singular approaches. Creators Henry Barajas (La Voz De M.A.Y.O: Tata Rambo), Cecil Castellucci (Girl on Film), Mary Fleener (Life of the Party), Kate Leth (Valley Ghouls), and Victoria Ying (Mother Tongue) talk about the joys, challenges, heartbreaks, and breakthroughs that come with bringing real life to the comics page in this panel moderated by Laura Jones, Comic-Con operations and programming coordinator.
