Will Eisner's The Spirit Archives #17
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume of Will Eisner's The Spirit Archives collects the classic newspaper adventures from 1948, featuring the masked hero Denny Colt—better known as The Spirit—as he navigates crime and corruption in Central City. Alongside allies like Commissioner Dolan and his daughter Ellen, as well as the resourceful Ebony White, these stories showcase Eisner's innovative storytelling and noir-infused artwork. The collection includes encounters with memorable villains such as Mr. Carrion and the enigmatic P.S. Smith, highlighting the series' enduring influence on the comic medium.
In "Cromlech Was a Nature Boy!", Will Eisner delivers another sharp, character-driven tale from his legendary Spirit Archives, with the artist/writer handling every aspect of the interior art, inks, and colors—his distinctive style on full display. When Hazel loses her role in the school Halloween pageant over a refusal to use a wire, her path crosses with the enigmatic Octopus, setting off a chain of betrayals that quickly spirals into something far more tangled. The cover, also by Eisner, captures the story’s eerie, off-kilter mood in his signature line work.
