DARWYN COOKE'S THE COMPLETE SPIRIT Connoisseur Edition

With his masterful storytelling and flair for noir style, Darwyn Cooke was uniquely suited to reintroduce Will Eisner’s beloved comics creation, The Spirit, to modern audiences. Now his Spirit comic stories are collected in their entirety for the first time in this oversized hardcover collection, presented within a beautiful slipcase. Designed by Sean Phillips, who also oversaw the Eisner-winning Richard Stark’s Parker: The Martini Edition - Last Call, to which this book is a companion in size and scope. J Bone, Cooke’s long-time collaborator, provides an introduction. Also included in this definitive version of Cooke’s The Spirit is a gallery featuring all of the covers, two variant covers from a Rocketeer/The Spirit crossover, and several never-before-seen drawings! Collects The Spirit #1-6, #8-12, and the Batman/The Spirit one-shot. Darwyn Cooke was truly a gifted artist with a unique style and an unmatched retro-sensibility. His run on The Spirit for DC is probably one of my favorites of his works (besides his excellent Parker adaptations). If you’re an open-minded Eisner aficionado, check this one out! ~Marty
