No, I haven't read Fagin the Jew, but... Will Eisner is a comic book writer and therefore must be good. (No prejudice here :) ) His official website says, and I hope it's alright to quote,
Will Eisner's examination of the Fagin character from Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist. Based on his own research into the era and the original editions of Oliver Twist, Eisner tells Fagin's story, and looks at prejudice, poverty and anti-Semitism prevelant in classic literature.
