☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe Spirit Archives Volume 25 continues DC's comprehensive hardcover reprint series dedicated to Will Eisner's groundbreaking newspaper comic strip. This volume collects the Spirit's adventures from the early 1950s, featuring the masked detective Denny Colt alongside supporting characters like Police Commissioner Dolan, his daughter Ellen Dolan, and Ebony White, as they navigate crime and intrigue in Central City.
In "Squire Sampson," Will Eisner's legendary detective returns to the shadows with a globe-trotting mystery set in wartime Istanbul, where a shadowy gang conspires with Nazi operatives to move stolen gold. Written by Bill Woolfolk and brought to life with Eisner’s masterful art, this story finds the Spirit unraveling a high-stakes plot—only to be captured in a twist that sets the stage for a tense, no-holds-barred confrontation. The cover, also by Eisner, captures the story’s noir intensity with its stark, signature style.
In a tense, shadow-drenched tale from Will Eisner's The Spirit Archives #25, the masked detective finds himself ensnared in a web of espionage and high-stakes smuggling, pursued by the likes of Adolph Hitler, Heinrich Himmler, and Goering as he tries to dismantle a criminal network aiding Nazi Germany’s financial escape. With Elsa Werner caught in the crossfire and Col. Kellner closing in, the Spirit must outwit the very machinery of oppression in a race against time.
When Junius Sneezer's experimental formula accidentally contaminates Central City's water supply, the Spirit must unravel a wave of unfiltered confessions and hidden desires before the city descends into chaos—especially as Dolan, Ellen, and Ebony find themselves caught in the sudden, unpredictable fallout.
