A pristine Mint copy in shrinkwrap and out of print.
Reprints 26 stories from 1949.
Reprinting the Spirit sections from July 3 to December 25, 1949, Will Eisner's masterwork continues through one of its greatest periods in THE SPIRIT ARCHIVES VOL. 19, featuring the classic stories "Ye Olde Spirit of '76," "Death of Autumn Mews" and "Ten Minutes" as well as an introduction from Stephen Weiner, co-author of THE WILL EISNER COMPANION.
The 1949 stories in the latest volume of vintage Spirit exploits catch the masked crime fighter nine years into the series. Eisner, ever inventive, was still finding ways to keep things fresh, and a four-week arc sees the hero wandering exotic Pacific islands. There are some signs that Eisner may have been wearying of his headliner. In many tales here, including the celebrated "Ten Minutes," which counts down the final moments of a young man's life, the Spirit barely makes an appearance. As always, Eisner's much-imitated "cartoon noir" style finds him moving seamlessly from broad humor to high melodrama.
