[Andy Moss · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is definitely not the biography I had hoped it would be. A couple of good essays, but mainly a listing of pretty much every character who has ever appeared in Eisner's universe which may test the patience of even the most ardent fan.

[Tankboy · Rating 2 out of 5]

For true fans only. This is more an A-Z of characters from The Spirit and Eisner's graphic novels, and I had been hoping for something that broke down individual stories or more comprehensive essays.
