The Spirit #10/29/1950
In "Hallowe'en 50," Will Eisner's iconic Spirit leads a delightfully chaotic Halloween night where the D.A.W. hunts Hazel through a town turned upside down by pranksters and paranoia. With Sammy and Willum stepping in as bumbling but earnest detectives, the night spirals into near-disaster—just as everyone’s about to be roasted at the stake. Jules Feiffer’s sharp script and Eisner’s masterful art, inked by Gene Bilbrew and Eisner himself, deliver a perfectly balanced mix of mischief and menace.
