Will Eisner's Last Book

The last book Will Eisner completed promises to be an interesting one. It's called The Plot, and it will be out in May, I think. It's a rebuttal in graphic novel form to The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a book writen by Russian anti-semites as a hoax, purporting it to be details of the secret Jewish plot to rule the world.

Eisner was very concerned about antisemitism, and discovered that this debunked book was being peddled to people in Muslim nations as the truth. After writing and drawing The Plot, Eisner was arranging to have it translated into Arabic.

It's on my list, believe me.
