Volume 1 - 1st printing. Signed Limited Edition - Includes a Will Eisner tip-in signature plate - Limited to 100 copies. Story and art by Will Eisner. Will Eisner's work on The Spirit was, in its way, as groundbreaking as Orson Welles' Citizen Kane. Both artistic achievements rewrote the book on sequential storytelling, and had lasting impacts on all that followed them. 17 classic stories are collected in this volume, each being scanned from the original art, and all stories from the post-war years of 1946-1950--generally regarded as Eisner's best period on the Spirit. Stories include April Fool, Li'l Adam, War Bride, Taxes and the Spirit, and Eisner's personal favorite, The Story of Gerhard Shnobble, as well as a dozen more. Hardcover, 15-in. x 22-in., 144 pages, B&W.
