Then also the rise of Nazism and the spread of socialist politics through the depiction of the protagonist, Jacob Shtarkah, whose existential search reflected Eisner’s own lifelong struggle.\n\n\u003cem\u003eA Life Force\u003c\/em\u003e is the second graphic novel in the \u003cem\u003eContract With God Trilogy\u003c\/em\u003e. It was first serialized in Will Eisner’s Quarterly starting in 1984. It's said to be an autobiographical and journalistic. Sometimes harsh, sometimes uplifting. Mature, and in places, unflinching. Eisner described his narrative, an “exercise in his  personal agony,” a way of dealing with the death of his daughter Alice (from Leukemia) years earlier.\n\nThe innovative storytelling and artistic detail makes it a keeper.\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eOut of Print.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCondition: Fine. \u003c\/strong\u003eLight rubbing around the edges and along the spine edge.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kitchen Sink Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59640490033438,"sku":"RB4317","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/RB4317-life-force.jpg?v=1784498821","url":"https:\/\/shop.budsartbooks.com\/products\/a-life-force","provider":"Bud's Art Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
