Spirit

A short-lived but noteworthy 1970s revival from Carlsen/if [SE], this four-issue series brought Will Eisner’s classic newspaper hero back into print with a mix of new stories and reprints. Featuring contributions from Eisner himself alongside talents like Jules Feiffer and Jerry Grandenetti, it offered a compact, transitional glimpse of the Spirit during a period when independent publishers were rediscovering vintage adventure comics. Though brief, the series stands as a curious artifact of its era, bridging the character’s original heyday with later, more celebrated revivals.
