☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis comprehensive hardcover volume celebrates the centennial of Will Eisner's birth by collecting a broad cross-section of his most iconic work. Spanning his entire career, the collection features classic Spirit stories alongside earlier creations like Black Ace, Bozo the Robot, and The Invisible Hood, showcasing Eisner's pioneering storytelling and visual innovation. With contributions from the full cast of the Spirit's world—including Denny Colt, Commissioner Dolan, Ebony White, Ellen Dolan, and P'Gell—this Dark Horse edition serves as a definitive tribute to one of comics' greatest masters.
"Jam" is a standout story from Will Eisner’s Centennial Celebration, marking a rare, personal collaboration where Eisner both wrote and illustrated this tribute to his own legacy. In this tale, the Spirit finds himself entangled with P'Gell over a prized copy of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, only to be rescued by the Escapist in a moment of unexpected alliance. The story, rendered in Eisner’s signature style with inks by Alex Saviuk and lettering by Eisner himself, showcases his enduring storytelling mastery. The cover, a striking piece by Eisner in both pencils and inks, captures the essence of the story’s tension and nostalgia.
