Background: Dropsie Avenue: The Neighborhood is among Will Eisner's most-acclaimed graphic novels. Ironically enough Dropsie Avenue was even an Eisner Award nominee for Best Graphic Novel in 1996. In an unusual storytelling technique, there is no central cast in Dropsie Avenue; rather the ethnically evolving New York City neighborhood is the "star" of the book, as waves of Dutch, English, Irish, Italian, Jewish, African-America, and Puerto Rican families decade-by-decade come to dominate the local population.

Numerous sub-plots revolve over time around individual residents, clashes between ethnicities, deterioration of the buildings, and political and restoration efforts.
