The Spirit Archives Vol. 23 — Will Eisner

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 world's deadliest villains with nothing more than his wits, his fists and his tongue planted firmly in his cheek. The blue-suit clad, fedora-wearing crime fighter created by Will Eisner starred in hundreds of newspaper adventure stories that thrilled readers, and Eisner's groundbreaking style utilized the comics format to its greatest strengths. Eisner's masterwork continues through one of its greatest periods in this volume, featuring such classic stories as "Future Death," "The Meanest Man in the World," "Darling and the Octopus" and "The Hero."
