Will Eisner's The Spirit Archives #16

Jun 2005 · DC · 49.99 USD; 76.99 CAD
“The Name Is 'Powder'”

In "The Name Is 'Powder'," Will Eisner delivers a sharp, character-driven tale from The Spirit Archives #16, where the larger-than-life Charlie Horse finds himself tangled in mob operations, aiding Moll Dropper’s push to control local businesses. Meanwhile, Ebony gears up for a showdown with a surprising twist—training via a mail-order boxing course, all while the city’s undercurrents of power and deception simmer beneath the surface. Art by Will Eisner and Jerry Grandenetti, with inks by both and coloring by Jamison, brings the story’s gritty atmosphere to life, while Eisner’s cover pencils and inks capture the issue’s tense energy.
