Eisner’s Spirit Lives on as Dark Horse Mini-bust

One of master storyteller Will Eisner’s unpublished concept drawings springs out of his archive and into the studio of sculptor Tony Cipriano with the creation of The Classic Spirit Mini-bust from Dark Horse Comics.

First published in 1940, The Spirit enthralled newspaper audiences for more than 30 years with stories about a masked crimefighting vigilante whose fists patrolled the streets of Central City. Today, the rough-&-tumble adventures of Denny Colt that helped make Eisner a legend fascinate a new generation of readers that stands to grow with Lions Gate Entertainment’s upcoming live-action film directed by another master of graphic fiction, Frank Miller.

This 4.5” x 7.5” piece includes a separate Central City manhole cover that can be displayed on or near the bust to re-create the strip’s danger-filled noir atmosphere.

The mini-bust is scheduled to ship on July 23. Preorder it now at YikesToysAndComics.com!
