WILL EISNER
(1917-2005) • Original Spirit art
April
23, 1950. Page 7 from “My Day at the Zoo.”
A terrified
but brave young boy who has wandered into a zoo alone
after dark, is about to be caught and mauled by a menacing
lion. But he manages to elude the beast, who then falls
safely into a pit. Once home his angry and skeptical
parents spank him and send him to bed. Of course readers
know he actually did elude and
capture an escaped lion. This is an example of Spirit
storytelling, employed fairly often by Will Eisner, where
The Spirit himself plays a very token or peripheral role,
one of the many aspects of The Spirit that break
convention in a refreshing way. A highly affordable page
because there’s no Spirit appearance, but the finished art
is primarily by Eisner.
Medium/Size/Condition: Brush,
pen, and ink on Bristol board measuring 15 x 22 inches
(38.1 x 52.8 cm). There is some minor scratching on the
ink to simulate falling rain. No significant White-out. No
paste-ups. Excellent condition.
Further reference: Much
other Eisner art, plus out-of-print graphic novels,
Spirit comic books and magazines,
signed serigraphs,
his Famous

Eisner-related items are accessible from our sister

Krupp’s
Curio Shoppe. Just type his name (or The
