The Spirit

Will Eisner’s classic newspaper detective returned in a short-lived 1970s revival from Kitchen Sink Press, with Eisner himself scripting the two-issue series. While the master storyteller wrote the tales, artist John Spranger brought a fresh visual energy to the Spirit’s gritty, shadow-drenched world. This brief run matters as a transitional moment for the character, bridging his legendary 1940s origins with the independent-comics resurgence that would follow.
