A Will Eisner Spirit Drawing

Yesterday's post, and tonight's, are the result of me rooting through a box of miscellaneous magazines.

Here's a drawing of The Spirit by Will Eisner. This is from the back cover and exhibit book for "The American Comic Book," which was held at Ohio State University from May 19 - August 2, 1985. Except for the not very exciting cover, this is the only thing in the book that isn't a reprint of a published comic book, so for that reason I'm presenting it here.

Will Eisner

Below is the only Will Eisner original I own (and probably the only one I ever will). It is from a syndicated newspaper panel Eisner did in the 1970's. Sometime in the late 1980's Eclipse Comics was selling these things for $5 or $10 a piece. A friend of mine got a few of them and gave me this one. My very own drawing of a Will Eisner locust. Below my drawing are a couple of images by Eisner of The Spirit and the femme fatale character P'Gell.
