☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects The Spirit stories from 1949, showcasing Will Eisner's innovative storytelling and noir-inspired art. It features the masked detective Denny Colt (The Spirit) alongside allies like Commissioner Dolan, Ellen Dolan, and Ebony White, as well as villains such as Mr. Carrion and Silk Satin, in a series of self-contained adventures from the classic newspaper section.
Will Eisner’s The Spirit Archives #18, titled "Ice," finds Ebony Moon chasing a distant dream to the North Pole—though her journey never leaves Central City. Amid the city’s chill, she crosses paths with an Eskimo girl, while the Spirit finally corners the elusive Filch and Cutter. A masterful blend of mood and mystery, this story showcases Eisner’s singular artistry, with full creative control from writer, artist, inker, and colorist Jamison, and lettering by Abe Kanegson. The cover, also by Eisner, captures the story’s stark, brooding tone.
Ebony’s sudden escape from talk of marriage leads her on a winding journey that never quite makes it to the North Pole—though she does cross paths with an unexpected friend in an icy world. Meanwhile, the Spirit keeps his usual pace, catching Filch and Cutter in his web of quiet justice.
