Description for the IDW site: This limited edition features a signature plate with a tipped in Will Eisner signature and is strictly limited to 100 copies. IDW is exceedingly proud to offer an Artist's Edition of Will Eisner's The Spirit. Created by Eisner in 1940, the Spirit is to comics what Citizen Kane was to cinema—groundbreaking and brilliant. 17 classic stories are collected in this volume, each being scanned from the original art, and all stories from the post-war years of 1946-1950—generally regarded as Eisner's best period on the Spirit. Stories include April Fool, Li'l Adam, War Bride, Taxes and the Spirit, and Eisner's personal favorite, The Story of Gerhard Shnobble, as well as a dozen more. All the pages in this book have been scanned from the actual original art that was drawn by Will Eisner. This Artist's Edition measures 15 x 22 inches and is 144 pages long. Each book is shipped in a custom cardboard box for maximum protection. Brought to you by the same team responsible for the Eisner Award-winning Dave Stevens' The Rocketeer: Artist's Edition and Wally Wood's EC Stories: Artist's Edition. AN ARTIST'S EDITION PRESENTS COMPLETE STORIES WITH EACH PAGE SCANNED FROM THE ACTUAL ORIGINAL ART. While appearing to be in black and white, each page was scanned in color to mimic as closely as possible the experience of viewing the actual original art—for instance, corrections, blue pencils, paste-overs, all the little nuances that make original art unique. Each page is printed the same size as drawn, and the paper selected is as close as possible to the original art board. These books just don't exist on the secondary market and very few are likely to ever come up for sale again. Book is in new condition, sorry about the bad photos, you won't be disappointed! Be sure and check my other auctions for more rare books. Thanks for looking!
