“The Explorer”

"The Explorer" kicks off with Ebony, fed up with talk of marriage, setting off for the North Pole—though he never makes it out of Central City. Instead, he stumbles into an unexpected connection with an Eskimo girl, all while the Spirit takes down Filch and Cutter. A quiet, character-driven tale from Will Eisner, with every line and panel drawn with his unmistakable precision. Cover by Will Eisner.
