Celebrate Will Eisner Week!


More than 50 years ago, Will Eisner’s American Visuals Studio produced “The Sad Case of Waiting-Room Willie” for the Committee on Public Medical Health Education of the Baltimore Medical Society. This fascinating case of public health advocacy has long gone unexamined, particularly in the modern context of American healthcare.


The MCPHS University Center for Health Humanities and the Harvard Medical School's Countway Library are bringing a team of local experts to honor Eisner’s legacy while also addressing some of our contemporary Graphic Medicine questions that plague Willie.


Panelists: 

Martha Gardner - Associate Professor of History and Social Sciences, MCPHS University

A. David Lewis - Associate Professor of English and Health Humanities, MCPHS University

Dan Mazur - Artist, Publisher; Will Eisner: A Comics Biography

Tavon Mei - Graphic Medicine Club representative, Boston University

Matthew Noe - Lead Collection and Knowledge Management Librarian, Harvard Medical School's Countway Library (Moderator)
