The first panel is a close-up of an eyeball and we see a reflection of the Spirit logo and the Spirit in it. It pans out to the repeated sounds of "tick...tock..." and we see it belongs to a music teacher. He is thinking of how he has always been strict and never reluctant to flunk students who are not interested in the class. So he is not without enemies but it never occurred to him that he would have one so fiendish or capable of committing a terrible vengeance upon him.

Will Eisner and Walt Disney signed their names that way because in the 1930's and 40's they learned and drew with brush and ink. When you draw with brush and ink there are only a few ways to draw a "W" a "D" an "E" and other letters.

In this seven panel strip, the top panel has the logo of the Spirit. The other six panels show two men (Harry and Sam) as they run into each other on the subway and have a conversation about their families and the general state of the world (strikes, war, murder, divorce, invasion, bombing, disease).

The main imagine of the front page is a building made of the letters of β€œSpirit,” with the largest being the β€œS” in back and the β€œt” being the smallest in front. There are several homeless men hanging around on various letters.

Will Eisner did a brilliant graphic novel, "The Plot" about the Protocols' history, and one of the saddest aspects is how often people, decades apart, say something along the lines of, "Now THIS will finally convince everyone the Protocols are a hoax!"

The cover shows Miss Cosmek in space, standing on a small, round asteroid. Behind her is the moon with a profile of the Spirit’s face on it. The title β€œThe Spirit by Will Eisner” is over the dark side of the moon.

The cover shows Police Commissioner Dolan, Sgt. O'Rourke, and Finnegan all wearing hats and domino masks similar to the Spirit. They are all lurking around a column with the Spirit's face on it, while a small fire burning in the background rises and slowly forms the words "The Spirit."

The page is made up of three panels, all taking place in a graveyard at night. The first shows a flashlight shining on a body that's lying in front of a tombstone, which reads "Here Lies Denny." The last name is obscured but it's probably "Colt," which is the name of the Spirit. The next panel shows a blue glove on the ground. The final panel shows three cops and Commissioner Dolan discussing the case. Their faces are all in shadow, and between the blue glove and the blue mask the victim was clutching, they realize that their prime suspect is the Spirit. Dolan reluctantly tells them to send out a citywide alarm to capture him.
