Will Eisner's The Dreamer

Once again this is another comic I really enjoyed. I thought the story of this comic artists struggle to become successful is something as students in attending an art school, that we can all feel connected with. Actually anyone that is chasing a dream can relate to the main character’s journey. I feel that the story really grabbed me right from the beginning and because of this I felt it was a pretty easy read, even for comic standards. Knowing that this story was autobiographical, I still at times forgot and found myself hoping that all would work out in the end. I also found it nice to see a small glimpse into the beginning of the golden age of comics. The artwork I felt was simplified but if it was fully rendered I believe it would become too distracting and take away from the story. I liked also that there was no color with the exception of the cover. It gave me more of a recollection of memories past than something that is currently happening. As usual this was a great read and I loved it.
