When you first read the comic Contract with god by Will
Eisner, there’s quite a noticeable difference between his work in
compared to what we have seen so far in my Literature in Comic class. At a
first glance one can actually see the quality of the drawings made in this
comic “ Contract with god” are very well thought out and the way each and every
page of a the comic is presented feels more like a posters for a movie or a
show. The hand written title and the
placement of the text and drawings on a
page of his comic was beautifully placed.
After reading the comic, I was very touched with the plot of
“ Contract with god”. As it talks about a man who lived in bronx and how his
life events changed after loosing his daughter, whom he loved very much. T he way
the line weight is created in the entire comic is quite impressive, because to
me as an artist, I can relate to the importance of the line weight and how its
portrayed. As I observe the technicality of the line weights, I sense that I
can visualize him calculating which side of his drawing needs to have heavy
lines and which needs to have thin, light lines. Moving forward, the I felt the
plot wasn’t really as captivating to me personally, but I can relate to the character
MR Harshe, where he always thought that he had
a contract with god, which I personally used t believe as well as I was
growing up. I guess the reason I can relate is because in my case of childhood adolescence
I was more scared and needed an idea to be a support of my shortcomings, where
are Mr harse, here is doing the same. He is using a contract with god as a way
of coping mechanism to keep him self afloat and being stable rather than accepting
the negative outcome
