    WILL EISNER (1917-2005)The Building (1987) Page 34 (lot of 2)

    In this virtually soundless page Will Eisner lets the images tell the story: both Gilda and Benny, without saying so, are aware of each other’s unspoken love affairs. From The Building. This lot includes two Eisner originals: the inked published page, and the corresponding preliminary pencil drawing, showing how Will followed through on his first conception.

    Medium/Size/Condition: The final inked page is drawn with brush, pen and ink on 11 x 14-inch Bristol board, with considerable “bleed” on the edges that would have been trimmed off in the printed book.  The blue and black pencil preliminary is drawn on lightweight white paper 6.25 x 9.5 inches. Note that Eisner’s pencil indicates he was going to head the page, “Soon it became more noticeable,” but decided such lettering would be superfluous in the final rendering. Both originals are in excellent condition.   

    Price: $1,700 for the 2-piece lot
