In this supposedly Halloween inspired issue, the Spirit’s been overworked and Dolan gets him to go out for a round of golf. At the same golf course, Dolan’s daughter is targeted for death by the Octopus. It’s up to a weary and very unaware of his settings Spirit to save the day.
There’s another good Spirit tale. But it doesn’t have any memorable villains and I don’t see where it was any more of a Halloween story than the golf yarn was. The only thing in this issue that is in the spirit of All Hallows Eve was a classic splash page by Spirit creator Will Eisner from the early 40s.
A good issue that doesn’t quite live up to the promises on the cover.
Worth Consuming.
