This powerful pencil sketch by Juan Giménez pays tribute to one of the most iconic characters in American comics: The Spirit, created by Will Eisner. Likely conceived as a preliminary layout for an exlibris or illustration piece, the work captures the mysterious and pulp-noir aura of the masked detective, reinterpreted through Giménez’s unmistakable graphic style.
