"WHO IS… THE SPIRIT? From his eerie headquarters
under Wildwood Cemetery, masked criminologist Denny Colt — believed by many to
be dead — secretly fights crime as The Spirit!' From his home in Central City
to the far-flung corners of the world and beyond, The Spirit attracts the most
seductive and dangerous femmes fatale and wages a neverending war against streetwise
crooks, criminal master-minds and otherworldly beings… with only quick wits, sharp
humour and his two gloved fists.
Original Spirit Comic Section
Feb. 1940
Will Eisner created the 'The Spirit' in 1940. 'The Spirit' first appeared in print as the star of a syndicated comics feature — known now as 'The Spirit Section' — produced by Eisner's studio. For twelve years, the original adventures of masked crime fighter Denny Colt appeared in newspapers and comic books across the United States. The stories were also published in comic book format in various Quality Comics by publisher Everett 'Busy' Arnold, a business partner of Eisner's.
The
Spirit stories have been reprinted in several comic book series and collected
editions from various publishers over the years [most notably Kitchen Sink Press].
DC have also launched an all-new monthly 'The Spirit' series featuring adventures
written and illustrated by Darwyn Cooke. "

The model I've designed is patterned
from comic covers like the one above featuring The Spirit's earliest appearances.
I have included an optional overcoat, and you can build him with his tie neatly
in place, or flapping in the breeze, as it often was. I haven't had a chance to
build this one yet - so it's still a beta. But I hope you enjoy assembling the
original Crime Buster! Happy Modeling!! p.s. If you do build it, please send pics here :) |
