A Contract with God is a graphic novel that tells the story of a tenement building in the Bronx during the 1930's. They are a collection of different short graphic stories rather than one single continuous one. The stories deal with poor working class people and their scandalous and intriguing stories. Eisner's line work and wonderful city landscapes and settings is what caught my attention the most as well as his lively and cartoony characters. The work is suppose to portray "realism" and the raw and hard daily lives of the inhabitants of the tenements.
