Description

New HC – retail 49.99 – The Spirit Archives 1 (June-December 1940). [From DC Comics: DC announces plans for THE SPIRIT ARCHIVES, an ambitious project designed to present full-color reprints of Eisner’s most famous creation—complete and in chronological order spanning from 1940 to 1952—in handsome hardcover volumes. The first of fifteen planned volumes (scheduled for release three times a year through 2004) arrives in stores this May, and the arrival of THE SPIRIT ARCHIVES Volume 1 is cause for celebration among longtime Eisner fans and newcomers alike. Featuring a new introduction by Eisner, the first volume in the series reprints the Spirit weeklies (7- and 8-page stories included with many Sunday newspapers) from the character’s introduction on June 2, 1940 through the end of that year. In unforgettable stories that seem as ahead of their time now as they must have on publication, readers meet Denny Colt, a man who, after being buried by mistake in Wildwood Cemetery, dons a mask and becomes The Spirit, “the greatest crimefighter of them all, to aid the weak and oppressed.” From his secret headquarters—complete with crime lab—in his underground tomb, the Spirit embarks on lighthearted, action-packed adventures against con men, murderers, femmes fatales, mobsters, and more, aided by his sidekick, Ebony, and the irascible Commissioner Dolan, as well as Dolan’s beautiful daughter, Ellen. All the stories in this volume have been painstakingly recolored to Eisner’s specifications from the best-quality source materials available, making this collection the best way to see The Spirit.]
