Spirit: The Origin Years

Will Eisner returned to his most famous creation in this 1990s series from Kitchen Sink Press, re-presenting the Spirit's earliest adventures with new material. Spanning ten issues from 1992 to 1993, Spirit: The Origin Years collects and contextualizes the debut of Denny Colt, Commissioner Dolan, Ellen Dolan, and Ebony White. Eisner wrote every issue, with art by both Eisner and the original series' co-creator Bob Powell, offering a definitive look at the strip's formative era. It's an essential companion for understanding how one of comics' most influential characters first took shape.
