Pierpont

Golden Age comics don't get much more atmospheric than the world of The Spirit, and Pierpont is one of the colorful figures who populated that celebrated Register and Tribune Syndicate strip, debuting in 1943 courtesy of creator S. R. Powell. Sharing the page with icons like The Spirit himself, Denny Colt, Ellen Dolan, and Commissioner Dolan, Pierpont moves in genuinely storied company. Seven catalogued appearances across a remarkable span reaching into the 2000s speak to the enduring life of the Spirit universe — and to the staying power of even its more elusive denizens. For collectors with a taste for the rich, pulpy corners of the Golden Age, tracking down Pierpont's moments in these pages is a rewarding slice of comics history.
