The DreamerThe Dreamer.

The Dreamer is a 1985 thinly disguised autobiographical graphic novel by Will Eisner about his early years as a cartoonist for comic books in the 1930s, with a particular focus on his years as part of Eisner & Iger studios. The book delves into the early years of the comic book industry and how the idealistic Eisner and his more pragmatic partner organized a business to supply material for publishers. The incidents Eisner adapts for the story include how Jack Kirby frightened off a mobster who was attempting to intimidate his employer.
