The Spirit #34 cover art by Will Eisner (Kitchen Sink Press, Inc.) (AUGUST 1987)

(August 1987) (Kitchen Sink Press, Inc.) On this cover art to Kitchen Sink's "The Spirit #34" comic book, Will Eisner more than appropriately hints the reader to this issue's contents. This particular cover actually features a reinterpretation of The Spirit's heroic battle against a swordfish on Page 4 from "A Day at the Beach". Will Eisner recalls: "An action-orientated fantasy, 'A Day at the Beach' is one of those rarest of Spirit tales in which Denny Colt takes on superhuman powers, even if it is more akin to rapture of the deep than to godlike manifestations." Of important note, Will Eisner illustrated this particular cover as an "Homage to his dear friend, Louis K. Fine and his most iconic of comic book cover images: Hit Comics #5".
