Description

As noted in another post, the late Darwyn Cooke was likely the closest modern creator to fully realize Will Eisner’s legacy. Darwyn was an astonishing storyteller, designer illustrator, letterer and more. (Among dozens of awards and nominations, he also received an Emmy nomination for his work on the 2008 animated film Justice League: New Frontier.)

DC launched its ongoing Cooke Spirit series with a Batman / Sprit crossover, and this IDW and DC Spirit Rocketeer crossover brings some closure to that brief run.

The covers are designed to form one single unit, and a limited variant wraparound cover might exist, although I can’t find it in my collection — or on-line. ( I can’t recall if we ended up printing it or not.)

As for these prelims? They are on two real oversize art boards… and they are spectacular.

Incredible prelims! Darwyn Cooke clearly picked up right where Eisner left off. Great pick-up!
