Brooklynite?

[edit]

The article claims that Will Eisner is a Brooklynite, but I'm not really sure about this. Isn't he from the Bronx? His pseduo-historical works all chronicle Bronx neighborhoods (the fictional Dropsie Avenue) and DeWitt Clinton, the high school he attended is in the Bronx as well. Maybe he was born in Brooklyn? I'm not sure, but that is possible. Yet even then I'd think he was more of a Bronx man than a Brooklynite.

Photos

[edit]

The 2001 photo of Eisner is grainy beyond belief and of such poor quality it in no way belongs in an encyclopedia. And I'm not sure why we have a photograph of a panel of a bunch of people who aren't Will Eisner; that looks like it's just aggrandizement for the panelists. --Tenebrae (talk) 22:49, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

True. Google doesn't turn up a lot of free images. I wonder if there's maybe a photo from an old newspaper somewhere whose copyright hasn't been renewed...
The photo of the panelist is taotally gratuitous, and a terrible picture. I've removed it.
I've got a couple Eisner bios (Andelman's & Shumacher's), and hope to get to the article sometime, though it's not at the top of my stack of priorities right now. Curly Turkey (gobble) 01:41, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
