“The Walking Corpse”

The masked crimebuster himself grins out from a glowing yellow circle on this 1952 Fiction House edition, his blue domino mask and broad hat instantly recognizable, while his wide-eyed, red-capped companion Ebony steals a bit of the spotlight in the foreground. Billed as "America's Greatest Crimebuster," the Spirit comes loaded for action with six complete stories packed into a single 10-cent volume — remarkable value for any Golden Age fan. The ominous subtitle Murder Runs Wild! sets a wonderfully pulpy tone that Will Eisner, handling writing, art, and inking, delivers with unmistakable flair.
