That’s the Spirit…

That’s the Spirit…

In my robot memory files there’s really no debating that Will Eisner is one of the best, if not THE best, comic artists of all time. The Spirit is a fun read and the visuals are amazing. Flat out spectacular at times. I felt that Darywn Cooke’s (New Frontier) 12 issue run on the lastest series, published by DC Comics, was excellent stuff too. Let’s not get crazy and say it was Eisner-level stuff, but it was quite good. Now we have Frank Miller (All-Star Batman & Robin, Sin City) working on a Spirit motion picture. I’m interested to see how “Eisner-meets-Miller filtered through a ‘Sin City’ filming style” works out on screen. I will say that the posters/ad art we’ve seen so far has been pretty cool. More Miller than Eisner, but that’s to be expected. This lastest piece, a triple-wide poster is looking pretty smooth.
