Matt Wagner Writes All-New "Will Eisner's The Spirit" Ongoing Series

Allred might be a little too loose and cartoony for my tastes.

Will Eisner is far more cartoony!

Will Eisner is far more cartoony!

But Eisner's cartoon style felt more grounded in reality . . . he got and seemed to enjoy playing with the basic nuts and bolts of life all around us. Allred in the past felt more fantasy-like, so I'm not sure how well that would work. (It's been a while since I last really looked at his artwork.)

I dig what your saying. Though cartoony and expressive, Eisner's art definitely started in realism. I disagree with Allred being loose. I actually find his stuff very precise, albeit simplified and very stylized.

Anyway, I hope we can get some new reprint version of Eisner's The Spirit going, even if it's just a set of 'Best of' volumes. Thankfully, my public library has most of the Spirit Archives, but I'd like to own a good selection without breaking the bank.

I loved when Kitchen Sink Press use to have a monthly comic book that reprinted the strips in order back in the 1980s.
