The legendary Will Eisner would have been 94 years old today. He was a huge force from the Golden Age right up to his death a few years ago. I got to meet him at the San Diego Con in 2000 and it was quite a thrill. I wish I had had some of my Spirit comics for him to sign but I did have him sign this Blackhawk reprint he wrote which appeared in the excellent 1970's DC reprint book America At War. I also got my picture taken with him which I'll cherish forever. He will definitely be missed.
