Description

Darwyn Cooke welcomes The Spirit into the DC Universe with this outstanding cover featuring Will Eisner�s legendary creation, facing off against� well another pretty well-known comic book legend.

Cooke�s take on The Spirit is one of my favorites, and this entire double issue, with inks by J Bone and colors by Dave Stewart is simply wonderful. It definitely deserved its Eisner award (so appropriate) for best single issue of 2007.

This cover is the only Spirit art that Darwyn penciled and inked himself, since this issue, and the subsequent ongoing, was inked on separate blue-line by Bone.

Fun fact: The cover was solicited for sale in its original version, and then ultimately flipped for actual publication. Makes sense, since the title is Batman/The Spirit, not the other way around.

Happy Will Eisner Week!

Darwyn's sense of design on full display with two evenly matched forces from his favorite time period to draw inspiration from.
