The Spirit #22
This issue contains three complete Spirit stories by Will Eisner. "Dulcet Tone" features a villain emerging from the unknown who sings hypnotically and is captured by the Spirit. "Flatfoot Burns and Jonesy" follows two bumbling characters who become entangled with a criminal plot involving a surplus atom bomb and a barrel of potatoes, mistaking themselves for real operatives. The final story "The Spirit of Manitou" shows the Spirit confronting villains at police headquarters, where a female character named Dulcet Tone is being held for murder, leading to a confrontation that results in the Spirit appearing to escape while the villains' plans unravel.
A stylish criminal named Dulcet Tone sweeps into Central City with ambitious plans to corner the black market—and she's not above using charm and manipulation to bend the local rackets to her will. When her web of double-crosses and false promises tangles together her accomplices, including the conflicted Skinny Bones, the whole scheme threatens to collapse under its own weight. The Spirit finds himself caught between a riverboat trap and a criminal operation spiraling toward its own reckoning.
