The Spirit #9/28/1947

In "U.F.O.", Will Eisner crafts a sharp, surreal tale where the legendary radio pioneer Awesome Bells—clearly inspired by Orson Welles—finds himself in a bizarre twist of fate when a real Martian arrives in Hollywood. The moment turns deadly when the alien dispatches press agent Flash Feeny, plunging Bells into a situation that blurs the line between performance and peril. With Eisner’s signature storytelling and dynamic art—enhanced by Jerry Grandenetti’s inks and Abe Kanegson’s lettering—this 1947 classic delivers a chilling blend of satire and suspense.
