The Spirit #13
In "A Moment of Destiny," Will Eisner crafts a tense, atmospheric tale of escape and paranoia as thief Baxter and his partner Maggie take refuge on a remote Pacific isle after a major score. With the shadow of the Spirit looming in his mind, Baxter’s growing unease turns the island into a prison of his own making. The story, illustrated with precision by Jack Spranger and inked by Eisner himself, features Eisner’s signature visual storytelling, with the cover by Eisner capturing the island’s isolation in stark, evocative lines.
In "Perfect Crime," thief Baxter and his partner Maggie take refuge on a remote Pacific isle after a major heist, hoping to disappear. But as Baxter grows increasingly uneasy, he begins to suspect that the Spirit has tracked them down—leaving them both on edge in a tense game of cat and mouse.
In "Saree," a spirited student at Miss Vitriola's school finds her world upended when her father announces his engagement to P'Gell. With Miss Vitriola gone, Saree faces the prospect of a new mother figure—someone who matches her in every way, and just as likely to challenge her independence. The tension builds as Saree grapples with the idea of sharing her life with someone who might understand her too well.
In "School For Girls," P'Gell turns to the Spirit when she fears her husband’s life is in danger—and that she might be framed for his murder. With a past full of secrets and a web of old enemies, she must untangle which of her former victims could be seeking revenge.
