Spirit Character

Will Eisner: Profession - CartoonistWill Eisner: Portrait of a Sequential Artist (2010)Will Eisner: Portrait of a Sequential Artist Poster Movie 11x17
We recently found a library gem  Will Eisner Professon: Cartoonist . It is a documentary about Will Eisner, an innovative comic-book artist who created the Spirit, a hero without superpowers. Mr. Eisner himself called the spirit a "middle class crime fighter".  It was refreshing to see Mr. Eisner's artistic road unfold. He was influential to the US Army during WWII, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. He made instructional comics for teaching purposes. Gosh would I love to have him assist us with educational manuals for Occupational and Physical Therapy to our patients recovering from various orthopedic surgeries. A film definitely worth viewing just to see the adventures of the Spirit.
