From the publisher:

Created by comics legend Will Eisner, the blue-suited crime fighter known as The Spirit starred in hundreds of newspaper adventure stories that thrilled readers, and Eisner's groundbreaking style utilized the comics format to its greatest strengths.

In 2008, in anticipation of Frank Miller's movie version, DC Comics collected some of the most memorable stories pitting The Spirit against his most sultry opponents. Featuring 23 selected tales of mystery originally published between 1940 and 1949, these stories star P'Gell, Sand Saref, Saree, Silk Satin, Thorne Strand, Autumn Mews and many others.

This came from the library of Burny Mattinson (1935-2023), an animator, director, producer, and story artist for Walt Disney Animation Studios, from 1953 until his death in 2023. Mattinson directed Mickey's Christmas Carol and The Great Mouse Detective. He was named a Disney Legend in 2008 and was the longest serving employee of The Walt Disney Company, with a career that spanned almost 70 years. His extensive library included numerous subjects and especially large collections of books on Disney, animation, and classic comic strips.
