Comics luminary Will Eisner takes on literary giant Charles Dickens, in this fascinating retelling of the life of Oliver Twist's Fagin! Imagining Fagin's impoverished childhood in the slums of London and his initiation into the criminal underworld, Eisner's story counters the anti-Semitism of Victorian literature as his gorgeous brushwork creates an evocative portrait of the era.
The Spirit, created by Will Eisner, and The Rocketeer, created by Dave Stevens, are two of the most beloved characters in the history of comics. Now, these two great pulp-inspired heroes meet for the very first time! A Central City Councilman disappears and is found dead in Los Angeles. Commissioner Dolan, along with Denny Colt (AKA The Spirit) and his daughter Ellen in tow, treks out to the City of Angels to investigate. Meanwhile, Cliff Secord (The Rocketeer) consoles his sweetheart Betty... who is traumatized after accidentally discovering the politicians body!
Outgunned and outnumbered by an army of Nazis, a group of GIs must band together and unleash the Hyperborean power of the mysterious man in the iron suit in order to make it home safely.
While I love Hellboy, BPRD and the Mignola-verse in general, I will be the first to admit that Mignola has fallen into a routine; a template for both art and story that becomes too formulaic for even the most die hard fan. Nazis, world war II, occult super science...been there done that. How to spice things up then? ROBOTS!! Robots punching those Nazi's to stop their weird occult experiments during the bloody days of WWII!!! C'mon, what more do you want?!! It's Atomic Robo done by Jason Latour by way of Will Eisner. Image the hard faced, exhausted and frightened soldiers of Eisner's war comics thrown into the dark alternate history of magic, science and PUNCHING!!! Nazi's in the face that is.
