Will Eisner's the Spirit: The Corpse Makers

Francesco Francavilla both writes and paints this moody five-issue Dynamite series from 2017–2018, sending Denny Colt—the Spirit—and allies Dolan and Ebony White into a grisly mystery involving a string of bodies that seem to rise from the dead. Francavilla’s lush, shadow-drenched art channels the noir atmosphere of Will Eisner’s original, while the story itself delivers a taut, self-contained thriller that honors the classic character without leaning on nostalgia. It’s a distinctive, creator-driven take from a modern master of the form.
