Will Eisner Exhibit Highlights Month At Haddonfield Library

HADDONFIELD, NJ — There will be a speaker program on March 21, 7 p.m. at the Haddonfield Public Library in celebration of cartoonist and graphic novelist Will Eisner.

An exhibit of works by Eisner including actual examples of his art, will be on display for the entire month of March in the Research Room at the Haddonfield Public Library.

Illustration authority Richard Greene and researcher Joseph Getsinger will conduct a special presentation about "The Getsinger Find," a cache of over 8,500 zinc printing plates that survived the metal drives of WWII, and a new book revealing long-lost newspaper strips by Eisner.

The book, ”The Lost Work of Will Eisner,” was published by Philadelphia publisher Locust Moon in August. Copies of the book, signed by co-authors Getsinger and Greene will be available for purchase. To register to attend the March 21, lecture, call 856-429-1304, ext. 111 or 114.
