The Spirit Ð Monolith Ð 101257 - $10000
The beloved hero of Central City, and a masked vigilante, The Spirit is one of Will EisnerÕs most notable and successful works. He was created as part of an attempt to break into the popularity of comics in Sunday newspapers, and quickly stole the hearts of readers nationwide!

In the mid 1990Õs the Brothers Hildebrandt were commissioned by Michael Uslan (executive producer of all of DCÕs Batman films) to do this painting of ÔThe SpiritÕ as a pitch for a possible animated feature film. At first, the painting portrayed the original design for Will EisnerÕs character, but Greg and Tim were instructed to ÔupdateÕ and ÔmodernizeÕ the character for a new audience. This beautiful painting was the result of their efforts, and Will Eisner was said to be fond of their interpretation.

Ultimately, the animated film was not produced, but this monumental painting stands as an homage to a beloved artist, character, and sequential art classic!
