Comic History:


The Beginning:
Created by Will Eisner in 1940. The Spirit was printed in full comics that were placed in newspapers in 1940 The newspapers were concerned over the comic boom with superheros. So the full comics were printed and placed in the middle of the paper and distributed weekly in most major United States Cities at the United States.

In many of the comic there were other stories featuring other heroes as well like Lady Luck and Mr. Mystic. The Spirit would do well with his newspaper comic. Before it was done the series lasted 645 issues.

The Spirit is a masked vigilante fighting for justice. His secret identity is Denny Colt, an ex-detective. Everyone thought he had died but he woke up in a cemetery. He decided he would keep the media thinking he's dead and put a mask on to become a crime fighter. He started in New York City and then moved to Central City, but his crime fighting career took him around the world. He had an African American sidekick named Ebony White who was very controversial due to his many stereotypes.
