Overview: Will Eisner’s The Spirit was a comic strip that ran from 1940 to 1952 involving a masked freelance vigilante for justice and truth. Conveyed in the film noir detective style popular in that era, the Spirit unceasingly battled against the criminals and ne’er-do-wells of society.
Towards the end of the series, Eisner decided to have a little fun and the world weary Spirit, ready perhaps to settle down, is drafted into a daring trip to the Moon. Not willing to take any risks with its free citizens, the government has offered full pardons to any criminal willing to risk the dangerous mission. It’s felt that only the Spirit can handle such a crew of miscreants.
Danger and surprises await them on the Moon. What was Francisco Rivera doing there first? Why do the men explode when their spacesuits are exposed to sunlight or punctured? What is Dutch going to do when he decides to stay behind?
This was a fun jaunt back to the days of Rocketship Galileo, Destination Moon, Tintin and the like. The Moon looks like a Chesley Bonestell style drawing. The inclusion of a lot of artist’s notes by Wally Wood breaks up the story a bit, but also fleshes out the story behind the story.
