Let not your ears deceive you, dear listener - this is NOT a Snotgirl episode! The Runners are pushing through sickness to bring you Darwyn Cooke's take on Will Eisner's classic proto-superhero, The Spirit! Denny Colt came back from the dead as the Spirit and must now confront an old foe who has returned as something much darker – while taking time to foil a few plots and woo a few women with his signature panache along the way. Topics of discussion include Cooke’s political legacy, the timeless appeal of the Spirit, and the names of fictional Middle Eastern countries. Plus, the Runners consider the hobbies of a few noteworthy villains!
Covering Batman/The Spirit #1 and The Spirit (2007) #1-6 and #8-12 by Darwyn Cooke (W/P), J. Bone (I), Dave Stewart (C), Jared K. Fletcher (L), Jeph Loeb (W), and many more.
