Will Eisner's
The Spirit Archives
Volume 5

The comprehensive and complete collection of Will Eisner's indelible creation, The Spirit, continues with The Spirit Archives Volume 5. This volume of The Spirit Archives finds more of the famous Spirit strips written and drawn by Eisner, as well as strips executed by the more-than-capable members of Eisner's staff - during the period when Eisner was spirited away by the United State Army for the duration of World War II. But with writers like Manly Wade Wellman and William Woolfolk and legendary artists like Lou Fine and Jack Cole at work, the quality of the weekly Spirit newspaper sections certainly did not falter. See for yourself in this meticulously reconstructed, gorgeously presented hardcover collecting rollicking stories like "The Royal Flush Gang," "Ebony meets Frankenstein," "The Return of Scar Cainam," "Espionage in Egypt," "The Mock Invasion," and the memorable "Improve Your Memory in Ten Easy Lessons." Also included is a special introduction by comics historian Ron Goulart, who profiles the creators and traces the history of The Spirit during this run. 224 pg. Hardcover book Released August 22, 2001
