Getting in The Spirit
I make a point to try to go to every comics-related movie (I’m supportive like that), and one of the things that struck me while watching The Spirit was my embarrassment that I had absolutely no frame of reference to compare it to. In all my time reading comics, I’d never read any of Will Eisner’s Spirit comics. Oh, I knew of it, had seen artwork from it, was a little familiar with what other people had said about it, but I never sought it out myself. That’s no way to treat a classic.

My mom never threw out my comic books, but it wasn't for lack of trying. Well, she was far too good natured (and practical) to actually throw them away, but she did do her best to prevent them from ever entering the house in the first place. In fact, the seven siblings who came before me were, I was told, never allowed to read them. But then I came along and broke the rules, much to her (and my dad’s) chagrin.
