Will Eisner's THE SPIRIT
ARCHIVES: Volume One
by Will Eisner
Hardcover: 240 pages
DC Comics
ISBN: 1563896737
$49.95
Eisner's reputation as one of the most important and influential figures from the comics' early days is based primarily on his best-known creation, the masked crimefighter called the Spirit. The Spirit's exploits, which started as comic-book inserts for Sunday newspapers, have been reprinted before but never as lavishly as now. It is treatment they richly deserve, and DC Comics plans to faithfully reproduce their entire run of more than 10 years in full color and hard covers.
The stories from 1940 featured in the inaugural volume are relatively primitive, but already evident are Eisner's hallmarks: layouts influenced by German expressionist film composition (and presaging film noir, which would merge in the mid-'40s), moody drawings drenched in atmospheric black ink, subject matter culled from outside genre conventions, and an unwillingness to treat the figure of a do-gooder in a domino mask with a straight face. The stories slated for future volumes are among the most accomplished and memorable ever done for comics, but even this premiere collection constitutes an ideal introduction to Eisner.

Will Eisner's THE SPIRIT
ARCHIVES: Volume Two
January 5-June 29, 1941
by Will Eisner
Hardcover: 224 pages
DC Comics
ISBN: 1563896753
$49.95
This is the coup de grace of the comic book medium! Not only does artist/writer Will Eisner strive to establish comics as a mainstream art, he did it over 40 years ago with this awesome collection of dailies from yesteryear. This reprints the weekly Spirit newspaper sections that originally appeared from January 5 through June 29, 1941. This period saw writer/artist Eisner's storytelling talents continue to mature as he developed new levels of sophistication, introducing new characters such as Silk Satin (with her first two appearances included in this volume) and revealing new details of Denny Colt, Commissioner Dolan and his daughter, Ellen, in stories that find the war in Europe beginning to influence the Spirit's stateside adventures. All in all this is the pinnacle of storytelling and cartooning.
Nowhere else will you find such a stirring account of characters, places and events than here. This is the original pioneer of the comics industry and he did it long before anyone ever thought of trying to mainstream comics. This is not just a bunch of funny books...its a huge chunk of americana. Our history and parts that should be recounted for generations to come!
