On March 22, 2017, Dark Horse Comics will celebrate the innovative comics storytelling of Will Eisner with Will Eisner: The Centennial Celebration, 1917-2017.

Contributors to the book include Jean-Pierre Mercier, Denis Kitchen, Paul Gravett, and John Lind. MSRP for the 176-page, full-color hardcover is $49.99. A limited edition of 100 copies that includes a signature from Eisner will have a MSRP of $99.99.

The book captures Eisner’s artwork from the 2017 Will Eisner Centennial Celebration exhibitions at Le Musée de la Bande Dessinée and the Society of Illustrators and includes dual French/English essays about Eisner’s contributions to comics.

Next year is a big year for centennial celebrations. In addition to Dark Horse’s celebration of Eisner, DC Comics is also set to celebrate comics great Jack Kirby, who also would have been 100 years old in 2017 (see “DC Celebrates Jack Kirby's Birthday”).
