The Spirit #4/9/1950
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Rescue," the Spirit finds himself stranded on a desert island with Sand Saref after a failed pirate ambush, testing his resolve and resourcefulness. Back in Central City, Ellen waits with quiet concern as the masked crusader’s absence stretches into weeks—until he finally returns, ready to face whatever comes next. Written and illustrated by Will Eisner, with lettering by Abe Kanegson, this 1950 issue captures the tension and quiet drama that define the series’ early run.
In "Rescue," Archie Flye and his pirate crew make one last desperate move, but the Spirit’s return to Central City is already shaping up to be more complicated than a simple homecoming. With Jewel of Gezah, Marx Kaufman, and Gustave caught in the crossfire, and Dr. Byzantine’s shadow lingering, the island’s secrets aren’t the only thing that won’t stay buried.
