“Blackmail”

In "Blackmail," the Spirit’s secret is threatened when the cunning Boss Bubble demands control, setting off a deadly game of cat and mouse. With the truth at risk and a murder on the streets, the masked crusader finds himself framed—innocent but trapped in a web he didn’t weave. Written and illustrated by Will Eisner, with additional art by Jerry Grandenetti and lettering by Abe Kanegson, this 1948 classic from the Register and Tribune Syndicate delivers a tense, noir-tinged mystery that redefines the stakes of justice.
