The Spirit Archives, Volume 6, January 3 to June

Often reprinted not only in America but around the world, "The Spirit" has never before been collected complete, in color, and in a uniform format. With Will Eisner's Spirit Archives, this legendary strip is at last presented in a manner it has deserved for so very long: a series of deluxe hardcover volumes with the strips painstakingly restored and faithfully recolored, re-presenting in chronological order every Spirit story ever produced in its initial run. World War II was erupting, and like so many young Americans Will Eisner was called to serve. For the duration of the war his creation The Spirit had to be passed along to his assistants -- but what a who's who of assistants!
