The Spirit, Vol. 1 by Darwyn Cooke

A pulpy, stylish revival that follows a masked detective—once presumed dead—who prowls a sprawling city, taking on a colorful rogues’ gallery while navigating loyalties to the police, a complicated romantic life, and his own moral code. The stories blend noir atmosphere, sharp dialogue, caper plotting, and kinetic, retro-inspired visuals to update Golden Age adventures into modern, self-contained vignettes that balance humor, melancholy, and brisk action.
