Will Eisner's work on The Spirit was, in its way, as groundbreaking as Orson Welles' Citizen Kane. Both artistic achievements rewrote the book on sequential storytelling, and had lasting impacts on all that followed them. Volume two contains stories from Eisner's glorious post-war period of 1946-1950, along with some of the very best from Eisner's run. If you are a fan of the first book (or are kicking yourself for missing it), make sure you don't get caught short-it just doesn't get any better than this!
