OUT OF PRINT. Click for more images from the book ... Created by Eisner in 1940, the Spirit is to comics what Citizen Kane was to cinema ... groundbreaking and brilliant. 17 classic stories are collected in this volume, each scanned from Eisner's original art, and all stories from the post-war years of 1946-1950, generally regarded as Eisner's best period on the Spirit. Stories include April Fool, Li'l Adam, War Bride, Taxes and the Spirit, and Eisner's personal favorite, The Story of Gerhard Shnobble, as well as a dozen more. Each book is shipped in a custom cardboard box for maximum protection.
Brought to you by the same team responsible for the Eisner Award-winning Dave Stevens' The Rocketeer: Artist's Edition and Wally Wood's EC Stories: Artist's Edition.
An ARTIST'S EDITION presents complete stories with each page scanned from the actual original art. While appearing to be in black and white, each page was scanned in color to mimic as closely as possible the experience of viewing the actual original art—for instance, corrections, blue pencils, paste-overs, all the little nuances that make original art unique. Each page is printed the same size as drawn, and the paper selected is as close as possible to the original art board.
