Retailer Dave Autzen of Reader's World in Springfield, Illinois saw the news of Will Eisner's death (see 'EXTRA: In Memoriam: Will Eisner') and shared his thoughts:

Admittedly, I haven't read much of Will Eisner's vast library of work, but the ones I have read were among my favorites.

The ones I've read most recently (Dropsie Avenue, Last Day in Vietnam, and Invisible People -- graphic novels about ordinary people) are so refreshing a change from the spandex-clad four-color superheroes that our industry is known for.
