While being largely upbeat and complimentary you managed to dig into the thematic content and artistic scope of Eisner’s best stuff. We Cookes always loved the Eisner reprints and realized early on in our lives/careers the importance and value of his work.
In any event thanks for your smart and surprisingly kind review of the boys’ work. They, in whatever they’ve done, have first and foremost always tried to get it right, whether it be magazines, screenplays, videos or their own comix titles, as well as all sorts of pitches, presentations and one-offs. A little praise goes a long way with these guys and I know your essay must have tickled them to death. Clearly you know your comics lore although I hope you’re wrong about contemporary comic artists’ possible ignorance about Caniff, Foster and et.al. Like Eisner, Kirby, Ditko, Steranko and the E.C. and Mad Mag people, they were/are titans in our eyes.

I like your site and plan to delve deeper into the archives, you strike me as being pretty hip and not your average fan quibbler.

Most cordially,

Rich Cooke
