...that appeared in newspapers from 1939 to 1952, Eisner went on to a 25-year career as a pioneer in the field of comics as educational material. Later, in 1978, his book "A Contract with God" appeared, published by a small press. Twenty-five years after this first-ever "graphic novel," Eisner's latest book, "Fagin the Jew" (128 pp.; $15.95), has just been published by Doubleday, an imprint of the very mainstream book publisher Random House...
...article about the popularity of graphic novels and the serious topics they explore [BOOKS, Aug. 25], writer Lev Grossman showed an incredible lack of respect for comic-book writers and artists.

I was horrified by the description of the death of Uday Hussein, which said a soldier "pumped two bullets into Uday's mouth, to ensure his death." This was sickening. I reject the cold-blooded stalking and killing of any human being cornered like an animal, even a murderous dictator and his family. This was an extreme example of American savagery and violence. Why weren't Uday and Qusay brought to trial...
Both born in 1971--Alas in Istanbul and Piggott in Bangor, Wales--they met in England in 1994 after stints in the worlds of classical music and graphic design, respectively. "Marcus was a photographer's assistant, and I had a little design shop," says Alas. "We did some tests, and some were cool, so we showed them to [the London cult fashion magazine] Dazed and Confused, and next thing you know, they had published them." Alas and Piggott now count among their credits some of the fashion world's most influential advertising campaigns, including recent ones for Lancome, Hugo Boss...
