In 2009, when you think Will Eisner, you?ll most likely think of Frank Miller?s film adaptation of Eisner?s classic comic The Spirit?starring Eva Mendes, Scarlett Johansson, and Samuel L. Jackson. No one knows this better than Creative Artists Agency?which just got its hands on the entire Will Eisner estate!
