DIED. WILL EISNER, 87, comic-book pioneer; in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. The person after whom comics' most prestigious award is named, Eisner helped launch a company in 1937 that created Dollman and Sheena, Queen of the Jungle. Later he created the Spirit, a witty antihero with no superpowers who roamed back alleys in search of bad guys, and wrote one of the first graphic novels, about a Bronx, N.Y., slumlord, A Contract with God. "My interest is not the superhero," he said, "but the little man who struggles to survive in the city."
