Will Eisner's The Spirit Archives #25
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.
