The Spirit Color Album #1
"Perfect Crime!!" from The Spirit Color Album #1 (1981) delivers a sharp, character-driven tale from Will Eisner, who wrote, drew, inked, and lettered the story with additional inks by Jerry Grandenetti. The cover, penciled and inked by Eisner, captures the tension of a crime fueled by personal drama. In this standalone story, Minnie the Mink pushes her meek husband, Fosgnove Slash, to leave behind his stepchildren, Hänzel and Gretel, as they flee their latest scheme—setting up a tense, morally ambiguous escape that’s as much about family as it is about crime.
