Google Celebrates Comic Author Will Eisner's Birthday

Google celebrated the late Will Eisner’s birthday this weekend with a Google Doodle, dedicated to the legendary comic author. Artist Mike Dutton drew the above homage to Eisner, in which the ‘oo’s in Google have been replaced by the eyes of one of Eisner’s most famous characters named “The Spirit”, aka Denny Colt, a crime fighting detective.

Comic artist Scott McCloud wrote an official post on Google’s blog honoring Eisner. In the post, he talks about how influential Eisner was in American comics in the 20th century.
