“Deadline”
"Deadline" marks a striking departure in The Spirit, with Jules Feiffer stepping into the spotlight as both writer and artist alongside Will Eisner, whose inks lend a familiar weight to Feiffer’s bold, expressive lines. In a self-aware twist, Feiffer’s character kills Eisner in the story, then shifts to a reflective, Clifford-style recap of the past year’s adventures—offering a rare, meta take on the series’ own legacy.
