The Spirit #18

In "The 7th Husband," Will Eisner delivers a quietly tense tale where the government's plans for a new dam collide with the mysterious ownership of a forgotten property—home to the reclusive Lizard, whose land exists outside official maps. With Stud Sharpe eyeing the site as a prime spot for a gambling den, the clash between progress, secrecy, and hidden stakes begins to unfold. Written and illustrated by Will Eisner, with inks by Jerry Grandenetti and lettering by Martin deMuth, the cover by Eisner captures the story’s brooding atmosphere.
