    WILL EISNER (1917-2005) • Original Spirit art
    “Cache McStash,” page 5” (1948)

    Will Eisner was assisted in places on “Cache McStash” (September 12, 1948) by Andre LeBlanc. But Eisner’s distinctive inking and feathering dominates this action-packed page. The close-up faces in the 4th panel showcase Eisner’s trademark feathering and chiaroscuro shading in particular. Eisner’s sense of humor is never far from the surface, even in dramatic scenes, and the two crooks beating each other to death with shovels are a perfect example, with the added “Boyngg” sound effects. No Spirit himself, but a great atmospheric Spirit page.

    Medium/Size/Condition: Brush, pen and ink on Bristol board measuring 16.5 inches wide x 22.5 inches high. White tape on the very top and bottom is long-missing. One tiny paste-up correction in 4th panel balloon. Excellent condition.
