Sorry this post is a tad late things have been real busy. Anyway After seeing the interview in class between Stan Lee and Will Eisner, which was absolutely amazing, I decided to take a better look at will and his work. Specifically the Spirit. I may not exactly read a lot of comic books but I do consider myself a superhero fan, if I don't read all the comics I at least make it a point to look up information on the ones I enjoy the most. The spirit is one of the only superheroes I know who's identity is mentioned very rarely and who is basically given permission to fight crime. Yes I do know that batman and commissioner gordon have an agreement but as portrayed in "year one" and plenty other comics, gordon does all of this under the table. However, during the time the spirit was introduced there was less realism in superhero comics. Superheroes were still praised in their comics even if it was technically breaking the law. Another thing I found while searching the spirit was that they made a live action movie based off the character in 2008. It received pretty poor reviews from critics and fans alike claiming that Frank Miller, who directed the picture, was simply using the same theme from his last movie "Sin City". It also apparently had bad action scenes. I have not seen it yet but I would like to soon!
