Contains 4 stories
The Last Prowl of Mephisto
7 pp
Lucifer T. Mephisto (villain, introduction)

On a wild, stormy night, the mysterious Lucifer T. Mephisto—a peculiar stranger who deals in souls—arrives in the city just as Mayor Dolan, frustrated by her demanding job, finds herself in a taxi driven by someone more sinister than she bargained for. When Mephisto orchestrates a confrontation between Dolan and the Hambo mob holed up at a pickle works, the Spirit must navigate a tangle of crime, temptation, and devilish schemes to save the day.

Design for Doomsday
7 pp
Jules Feiffer (guest star)Will Eisner (guest star)

When the sun inexplicably moves closer to Earth, the planet's final day arrives—and a city descends into chaos as temperatures soar and death tolls mount. Written by Jules Feiffer with art by Will Eisner, "Design for Doomsday" frames its apocalyptic premise as a pitch between two creators, weaving together Commissioner Dolan's desperate broadcasts, the Spirit's struggle against an unstoppable catastrophe, and the ordinary lives caught in the inferno. It's a darkly clever story that balances world-ending stakes with the human moments that ground them.

The Sword and the Savage
7 pp
The Great Galactic Mystery
7 pp

When a small man named Humbolt Weepy bursts into Commissioner Dolan's office claiming to possess reality-warping mental powers, he sets his sights on humanity's grandest dream: sending a man to the Moon. With the Spirit and a volunteer professor equipped with a specialized suit and powerful radio, the impossible journey begins—but as the traveler draws near the lunar surface, a mysterious force begins to oppose Weepy's abilities, and something far more sinister awaits in the cosmic darkness. "The Great Galactic Mystery," created by Will Eisner, unfolds as a tale of ambition colliding with an unknown menace among the stars.
