The Spirit #21

This anthology issue contains three complete Spirit stories. "The Grumly Murder," by Will Eisner, explores a man's breaking point when psychological tension causes him to question reality; a character named Grumly's body disappears after he is killed, and the Spirit investigates the mystery of his inheritance. "Flatfoot Burns" features a comedic race between Flatfoot Burns and Discus as they compete in a series of hurdles and challenges. A third story involving the Dolan household deals with romantic entanglements and family drama, including references to wedding plans and concerns about a character's intentions toward a young woman.
