WILL EISNER (1917-2005) • The Building
(1987) Page
41 (lot of 2
In this
dramatic penultimate
page in the Gilda & Benny chapter of The Building,
Benny finally meets Gilda’s husb and Irving and learns
that Gilda has died.
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: $1,900 for the
2-piece lot
