Product Description: Criminologist Denny Colt let the world believe he was dead in order to continue his war against crime as the masked vigilante known only as The Spirit.Through his career, he fought some of the worlds deadliest villains with nothing more than his wits, his fists and his tongue planted firmly in his cheek. The blue-suited, fedora-wearing crimefighter created by Will Eisner starred in hundreds of newspaper adventure stories that thrilled readers, and Eisners groundbreaking style utilized the comics format to its greatest strengths. The final installments of Eisners weekly Spirit stories reaches its conclusion in this volume of adventures from the early 1950s, including the lushly illustrated series that took The Spirit from Central City to the surface of the moon.
Great Stuff! Will Eisner's film noir style is refreshing, the storytelling is highly entertaining, and the character of the spirit has shown great promise as a timeless entity that will go down in history as one of the greats.
