WILL EISNER
(1917-2005) • Original Spirit art
“Wanted: Dangerous Job,” page 3” (1950)
This page has most of what collectors are
looking for in a Spirit page: The
Spirit himself is in several panels,
most prominently in the 4th panel where he
begins to don a disguise; Commissioner
Dolan, who, while not prominent, is
clearly present in three panels; there is
a beautiful woman (Briget),
and an a villain (a dictator no less) and
his henchmen. Even sidekick Sammy is
present, not to mention the Scotsman.
Eisner’s characteristic compositions are
noteworthy here: He gives us both worm’s
eye and bird’s eye views of the aircraft,
along with separate long shots and
interior. Nothing lazy about the way he
approached the airplane to propel the
story. This page has everything accept a
fight scene.
Medium/Size/Condition: Brush, pen
and ink on Bristol board measuring 15
inches wide x 22 inches high. White tape
above and below the image areas. One small
paste-up correction in 7th panel
(airplane/runway). Excellent condition.

other Eisner art, plus out-of-print graphic novels,
