“The Moment of Glory”

In "The Moment of Glory," the Spirit of 76 races against time to stop Squire Sleezy from making off with the town treasury, using a signal light in the old Church tower as his cue—though no one believes the warning except the Spirit himself. Written by Jules Feiffer and illustrated by Will Eisner, with inks by Eisner and letters by Abe Kanegson, this 1950 tale blends suspense and small-town intrigue in a story that’s as sharp in its pacing as it is in its execution. The cover by Will Eisner captures the tension with a striking, cinematic flair.
