“Wildwood Cemetery painting” (1986)
A 90-minute Spirit pilot, which ended up as the made
for TV Spirit movie (1987—not the
later Frank Miller film adaptation) was written by Steven
DeSouza (48 Hours) produced by Paul
Aratow, and starred Sam Jones (Flash
Gordon) in the lead. Will Eisner, who
licensed the rights, was asked by Aratow to
create several paintings to help establish visual
references for the set. One of them is this watercolor
painting of The Spirit and girlfriend Ellen
Dolan at the entrance to Wildwood Cemetery,
the place where detective Denny Colt has his
secret hide-out. Paintings by Eisner are hard to come
by, and this is an iconic scene.
Medium/Size/Condition: Watercolor and ink on
heavy Bainbridge illustration board measuring 11.75
inches wide x 10 inches high. Excellent condition.
Further reference: Much other Eisner art, plus
out-of-print graphic novels, Spirit comic books and
magazines, signed serigraphs, his Famous Cartoonist
Button, and numerous other Eisner-related items are
accessible from Steve
Krupp’s Curio Shoppe.
Provenance: The Will Eisner estate is
exclusively represented by the Denis Kitchen Art
Agency, an affiliate of Steve Krupp’s Curio Shoppe and
Gallery. This drawing is warranted to be an authentic
original created by Will Eisner, and sold on behalf of
his estate. |
