In 1940, legendary creator Will Eisner ("A Contract With God") began an amazing new newspaper comic strip, "The Spirit", which changed the face of comics forever. Clad in his famous blue suit and fedora, crimefighter Denny Colt brought his own brand of hardened justice to the corrupt streets of Central City! This huge collection of twenty-two timeless stories from 1940-1950 period features famous first appearances, classic confrontations, human interest tales, and all those magnificent splash pages! Soon to be a major motion picture from celebrated writer and creator Frank Miller ("Sin City"), this volume also features an introduction by "New York Times" best-selling novelist Neil Gaiman ("The Sandman").
Will Eisner is one of the most important creators to have worked in the comics medium. Not only did he innovate the entire newspaper strip format with The Spirit, but in A Contract With God, a book-length comic detailing life in a Jewish tenement, he is also credited with publishing the first "graphic novel" (indeed, Eisner himself coined the term). Brilliantly creative until his death in 2005, Eisner's shadow still looms large over the modern comics industry, and may it ever remain so!
