Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Vintage and vital...
This third volume in The Spirit Archives collects the comics from the second half of 1941. Despite what another reviewer says, Will Eisner was not yet in the army, and was still writing and drawing the feature. The Spirit would not reach it's peak until after World War II, but it was still head and shoulders above just about any other adventure strip at the time. Will Eisner, may he rest in peace, was one of the greatest cartoonists of all time. Highly recommended.
Rating:  - The Spirit Archives Series
Will Eisner is the only comic book artist to ever have his work shown in a museum of art. His most important work is the Spirit.

This collection shows him already at top form, and collects some of the most famous of all the ... Read More
Rating: - A series on the verge of exploding into brilliance
In the third volume of "Will Eisner's The Spirit Archive," the weekly Spirit stories from the "comic book section" newspaper supplements are almost at the point where they are truly masterpieces. In Vol. 4, we get to 1942 when all the elements finally congeal into the stories that still stand head and shoulders above most of the work being done in comics today, 60 years later. This volume is still not a 5-star effort, but it is an excellent read that is full of stories that holds ... Read More
