Book Reviews of The Spirit Archives, Volume 21

Book Review: No Ebony?!? Something is missing. 3 and a half stars only.
Summary: 3 Stars

Eisner is a Graphic Story telling genius. I own all the Spirit Archives and starting with #21 the character of Ebony White is missing. I know this just reprints what was already done in the past, but because of the loss of Ebony the stories in this volume seem lacking. To some Ebony may seem like a "Step and Fetch-it" stereotype (which he is to a degree) but the character is so much more than that. He is the Spirits partner and companion, a troublemaker, comic relief, but also a true hero in his own right. It is sad that he is missing in this volume. This is probably an inevitable and understandable change made due to the social pressures of the times, but to me it is devalues the book. This volume is better than the few books re-printing the Eisener absent stories during the war years, but it is not a high point in the series to me. More of a medium point. I do not know what happens in future volumes, but I am hoping Ebony returns. In either case I will continue to buy these until the entire series is completed. Eisner is just that important of a graphic story teller.

Summary of The Spirit Archives, Volume 21

Criminologist Denny Colt let the world believe he was dead in order to continue his war against crime as the masked vigilanted known only as The Spirit. Through his career, he fought some of the world's deadliest villains with nothing more than his wits, his fists and his tongue planted firmly in his cheek.

The blue-suit clad, fedora-wearing crime fighter created by Will Eisner starred in hundreds of newspaper adventure stories that thrilled readers, and Eisner's groundbreaking style utilized the comics format to its greatest strengths.

Eisner's masterwork continues through one of its greatest periods in WILL EISNER'S THE SPIRIT ARCHIVES VOL. 21, collecting stories featuring such classics as "The Moment of Glory," "The Wreck of Old 78" and "Camp Wachoobee."
