Les dossiers secrets du Spirit

The Spirit archive series Les dossiers secrets du Spirit debuted in 1981 from French publisher Futuropolis, collecting classic Will Eisner material in a single-issue, large-format album. This volume is a key artifact of the European reclamation of American newspaper adventure strips, presenting Eisner's work with the scholarly care that defined Futuropolis' early archival line. It matters as a bridge between the original 1940s Spirit stories and the international audience that would later celebrate Eisner's graphic novels.
