Spirit of science fiction
I like Will Eisner's Spirit stories because they can be anything: detective, human interest, adventure, romance, film noir, fantasy or science fiction. Sometimes a combination of those elements. These stories, scanned from Police Comics #101 and #102, 1950, use science fiction as a sub-theme in the first (rocket to the moon as escape for a criminal), and the plot driver for the second (time travel). As usual, nothing in a Spirit story is strictly conventional. There are always surprises in the seven pages that fit outside normal expectations of 1940's comics.
We are in a science fiction week at Pappy's. Tomorrow, the Fox rocket men!

So fantastic this post as this story of The Spirit. I love so much the Will Eisner's work, but I did not know this comic. Very good, thanks you.
Thank you for sharing two of Eisner and Company's finest post-war Spirits. I'm looking forward to your science fiction week!
