Book Review of The Best of the Spirit

The Best of the Spirit
ralegh avatar reviewed on + 127 more book reviews


Will Eisner was an incredible artist, and this book provides numerous examples. Each story is an experience to read, and the Spirit's occasional goofiness adds humor. There are some dated, racist depictions of blacks, so be forewarned if that is a problem for you. There also is a fair amount of violence, the Spirit occasionally kills the bad guys when he has no other choice. But it would be a shame to miss out on Eisner's brilliance, so I still recommend the book.
