A Contract with God
One of the interesting things that I liked about Will Eisner's style in this graphic novel was how has an intro type format where for a few pages there are text on the page telling us the narration and then one big image drawn per page. As the graphic novel goes on it forms two or three panels per page. I think this builds up the momentum of the story making you want to read more.
Eisner's use of cross hatching for adding texture to walls and floors is very appealing because it is simple yet allows you as a reader to focus on the parts of the image that have more finer details. I feel as though most of his work is similar to film noir in that it uses the blacks and whites to it's advantage. The mood of A Contract with God also is more dramatic which is why I might be drawing this connection.
Eisner draws people in a way that to me in unattractive. However I believe that this gives them more personality and you are able to distinguish who is who easier.
