This is the story of one of the characters of Charles Dickens' "Oliver Twist" which the said character has set out to make known to look less bad than he was made out to be. Will Eisner's style of drawing here felt a little Disneyish to me, while the story felt a little too didactic in its purpose. Of course it is important to explain why the antisemitic representation of Fagin in Dickens' novel is (while not surprising in historical context) worthy of criticism and discussion. But this felt a little too "in your face" - which often doesn't achieve the dessired effect.
