“Willum and the Baron”

In "Willum and the Baron," Will Eisner delivers a poignant tale of exploitation and justice, spotlighting a young shoeshine boy caught in the clutches of a cruel patron. When the Baron manipulates Willum into taking the blame for a botched robbery, The Spirit and Dick Whittler step in to restore fairness—proving that even the smallest lives matter. A powerful, character-driven story from the legendary Eisner, with every page drawn and lettered by the master himself.
