Description
Returning guest Christopher “Mav” Maverick joins Joe to talk about Will Eisner’s classic graphic novel, A Contract with God. We’re discussing Chapter 1, “A Contract with God” and Chapter 2, “The Street Singer.” Eisner uses a monochromatic, caricatured cartooning style that often feels at odds with the serious, dramatic, adult slice-of-life stories that are riddled with violence, hopelessness, loss, and despair. That unexpected stylistic and content pairing creates an unforgettable text that has been praised since its publication.
