Fagin the Jew

Plot

Based on the story by Charles Dickens. Adapted by Will Eisner. Foreword by Brian Michael Bendis. Comics luminary Will Eisner takes on literary giant Charles Dickens, in this fascinating retelling of the life of Oliver Twist's Fagin! Imagining Fagin's impoverished childhood in the slums of London and his initiation into the criminal underworld, Eisner's story counters the anti-Semitism of Victorian literature as his gorgeous brushwork creates an evocative portrait of the era!
