Homenaje Spirit

Carlos Pacheco’s single-issue tribute to Will Eisner’s classic newspaper hero, published by Elektra in 1990, stands as a loving homage from a Spanish artist who would become one of the most celebrated pencillers in mainstream comics. This short but significant work captures the essence of the Spirit’s noir-tinged adventures through Pacheco’s dynamic, expressive linework. It matters as an early showcase of Pacheco’s talent and as a European artist’s respectful, personal take on an American icon.
