Résumé: IDW is exceedingly proud to offer an Artist's Edition of Will Eisner's The Spirit. 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 being scanned from the 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.
