☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume of The Spirit Archives collects the final six months of Will Eisner's original run on the feature, spanning newspaper stories from January 7 to June 24, 1951. It includes the last Spirit adventures produced by Eisner before he left the strip, showcasing his signature blend of noir storytelling, inventive layouts, and character-driven drama. The collection captures the end of an era for one of comics' most influential creations, presented in DC's archival hardcover format with restored art and historical notes.
In "A Time-Stop," Will Eisner's legendary Spirit returns in a striking story written by Jules Feiffer and illustrated by Eisner himself, with inks by the master. After Ringo shoots Marc Tymley, a mysterious meteor halts time for everyone except Tymley, giving him thirty minutes to act while the world freezes around him. The cover, a striking piece by Eisner, captures the moment’s eerie stillness.
When a strange meteor passes Earth, time freezes for everyone except Marc Tymley—just as Ringo Sykes pulls the trigger. With thirty minutes of frozen world at his mercy, Tymley must decide what to do with the sudden, surreal power, while the Spirit watches from the shadows, caught in the stillness.
When a gang of bandits sabotages a train, Henry J Timeclock—just trying to get home on time for dinner—finds himself stranded alone in the engine, the only one who can stop the chaos. With the rails ahead crumbling and the clock ticking, the Spirit must reach him before the train careens into disaster.
