Will Eisner's The Spirit In 3D


Comics book artist and writer Will Eisner began his comic book career in the late 1930s.  After knocking around a few companies obtaining work he started his own studio and created his most famous character The Spirit.

A little over 10 years ago Dark Horse Comics produced a four-figure miniature PVC set of figures from the legendary comic strip/book series The Spirit.

Four colorful figures come in the set: Ellen, Commissioner Dolan, The Spirit and a bonus figure-Plaster Of Paris.

The four figures come packaged in a black rectangular cardboard box with a clear viewing panel on the front and top.

The figures stand agent a silhouetted city skyline.  They are held in place by a form-fitting plastic cocoon and wires.

The sculpt work is first rate as is the color application on all the figures.

Each of the figures stand approximately 3 1/2 inches tall.  

Ellen comes dressed in a red pant suit with a white blouse and black shoes.  She clutches a black handbag.

Commissioner Dolan smokes a brown pipe and wear a three piece brown suit of a jacket, vest and pants, a black tie and shoes and an off-white shirt with a gold watch bob.

The Spirit wears a medium blue suit, a white shirt, a red tie, blue gloves, black shoes with no sock, a blue hat with a brown band and a black eye mask.

Plaster of Paris looks slinky in her bare shoulder single piece red, form-fitting, floor length dress, white full arm gloves and brandishing a silver dagger.  Her luscious blond hair and full red lip betray her criminal intent.

All are exact 3D duplicates of their 2D namesakes.

Psalm 29:2 (KJV) “Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.”
