review:
'The Spirit: An 80th Anniversary Celebration' edited by Ted Adams and featuring comics by Will Eisner is a nice collection.

There are 9 stories, each introduced by different folks from the comic industry, including a great introduction by Denis Kitchen. Each introduction features a favorite 7-page story, including 4 which are now in color. Stories featured include the origin and stories where Will Eisner mocks himself about deadlines and the pervasive nature of advertising.

I had a great time reading this collection, including some I'd never read before. Will Eisner was a master of visual storytelling, and while the contents of some of these stories can feel a bit dated, there is much here that endures.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Clover Press, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
