Will Eisner's The Spirit Archives #15
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects issues 21-22 of Will Eisner's The Spirit, originally published in 1950, featuring the masked detective's adventures in Central City. The stories showcase Eisner's innovative storytelling and noir-influenced art, including the debut of the character Sand Saref.
In "Wanted," Will Eisner delivers a taut, character-driven tale set in the shadowy underbelly of Central City, where the fallout of a failed crime operation forces Fosgnov and his wife Minnie to abandon their children. With Eisner’s signature storytelling and the distinctive art of Jerry Grandenetti, this issue unfolds with quiet dread as Wendy the fence takes a chilling step to erase all traces of the past—leaving the children in peril. The story’s stark atmosphere and emotional weight are heightened by Eisner’s cover art, rendered in his own hand.
