 The Spirit Returns May 22, 2003

This is the second volume of Spirit stories, by master graphic storyteller Will Eisner. This is great stuff, and Eisner hadn't even reached his peak yet when these stories were produced. If you're a comics fan, you should buy all the Spirit Archives.
Will Eisner is the master of comic book storytelling..... March 23, 2002

What can one say about Will Eisner and the Spirit that has not already been discussed in length since his beginnings in the 1940s? Eisner's stories still resonate today and are as fresh as ever. DC is doing an excellent job of re-presenting all the Spirit tales in chronological order in a beautiful deluxe format.
Hopefully, when this Archive is complete, maybe Will Eisner can present one final new Spirit tale. The fans can only hope for something like this....
Will Eisner's Spirit Part 2! September 14, 2000
ZaK Kinsella (Denver, CO USA)

This is the coup de grace of the comic book medium! Not only does artist/writer Will Eisner strive to establish comics as a mainstream art, he did it over 40 years ago with this awesome collection of dailies from yesteryear. This reprints the weekly Spirit newspaper sections that originally appeared from January 5 through June 29, 1941. This period saw writer/artist Eisner's storytelling talents continue to mature as he developed new levels of sophistication, introducing new characters such as Silk Satin (with her first two appearances included in this volume) and revealing new details of Denny Colt, Commissioner Dolan and his daughter, Ellen, in stories that find the war in Europe beginning to influence the Spirit's stateside adventures. All in all this is the pinnacle of storytelling and cartooning. Nowhere else will you find such a stirring account of characters, places and events than here. This is the original pioneer of the comics industry and he did it long before anyone ever thought of trying to mainstream comics. This is not just a bunch of funny books...its a huge chunk of americana. Our history and parts that should be recounted for generations to come!
