    WILL EISNER (1917-2005) • Original Spirit art
    “Cache McStash,” page 3” (1948)

    In 1948 Will Eisner often did all of the writing, penciling and inking on his own stories, but he was assisted on “Cache McStash” (September 12, 1948) by Andre LeBlanc. That said, Eisner singled out this particular page in an interview with Kitchen Sink editor Dave Schreiner in 1987: “”On page 2,” Eisner said, “Andre provided inking and may have even gone over the pencils, especially on the middle tier, On page 3 on the other hand much of the inking in mine. Those kids walking down the steps on page 3, that’s the Eisner shuffle.”

    Medium/Size/Condition: Brush, pen and ink on Bristol board measuring 16.5 inches wide x 22.5 inches high. White tape on the very top and bottom is long-missing. Selective White-out (most notably the calculations on the blackboard), but no paste-ups. Excellent condition.
