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.
