The
Spirit Checklist first appeared in The
Spirit Magazine #22 - #28 inclusive, published by
Kitchen Sink. Compiled by Cat Yronwode, it was
the first comprehensive listing of all
appearances of The Spirit.
This latest
version of the checklist is based upon that
original listing, but has some alterations:
Because of
the size of the Checklist, it is split into
sections:
1) Pre-war
and War Spirit Sections 1 - 290, click here.
2) Post-War Spirit Sections
by Will Eisner 291 - 447, click here.
3) Spirit Sections by
Eisner & others, 448 - 645 follow below.

Sections, new stories and appearances after 1952

- Reprinted: WAR#8
(B&W), KSP#52 (B&W),
SCB Vol 1 (B&W)
- Notes: This section and
the following one "reprint" the lead story from
the unpublished 1948 John Law comic
book. The original was 11 pages long. The splash page
became the splash of Section 503, while
the splash and next two pages of this section are new
(1950) art. Other than that, the pages are run in their
original order. Commissioner Bunyan and Nubbin have been
reworked with paste-overs (into Commissioner Dolan and
Sammy respectively) but John Law was transformed into The
Spirit by inking his eyepatch into a mask and then
whiting out his pipe. Some very minor rewriting was
necessary, chiefly in the area of names. However,
statements like Sand's, "You're a cop" were
allowed to stand, even though they do not apply to The
Spirit (John Law was, as his name implies, a police
detective). The cover and two other stories from John
Law were also reworked into Spirit Sections in
1950 and will be noted here. The original John
Law stories were published in 1983.

505. 29 January 1950 - Ratt
Trapp
- Reprinted: KSP#53
(B&W)
- Notes: Another John
Law feature, this was originally 8 pages long
and the name it bore was "Ratt Gutt". In
addition to the very minor rewriting necessitated by the
name change, the first two pages of the 1948 version were
scrapped (They had been a double page splash) and the
idea incorporated into a new one-page splash to bring the
page count down to the required 7. The original art was
pasted over and whited out to transform John Law into The
Spirit and Nubbin into William Waif. For more details on John
Law, see Notes to 502
506. 5 February 1950 -

- Reprinted: KSM#23

- Reprinted: KSP#53
(B&W)
508. 19 February 1950 - The
Half-Dead Mr Lox
- Reprinted: KSP#54
(B&W)
- Notes: This was the
third story in the unpublished (until 1983) 1948 John
Law comic book. In its original form it was 6
pages long and starred John Law and Nubbin The Shoeshine
boy. As with the others in the series, it was converted
into a Spirit Section by inking a mask over Law's
eyepatch and transforming Nubbin into another character
(Willum Waif in this instance) by pasting new art over
the old and rewriting a few balloons. In addition the
original double page splash was cut apart and pasted up
with new art into pages 2 and 3 of the later versions and
a new splash was added by using some art from a rejected
cover for the first, discarded attempt at John
Law. For more details, see Notes to 502
and 511

511. 12 March 1950 - The
Jewel of Gizeh
- Reprinted: WAR#12
(B&W), KSP#54 (B&W)
- Notes: Although the rest
of the art for this section was written and drawn in
1950, the splash page is a reworked version of the final
cover for the unpublished 1948 John Law
comic book. In this section, the police badge has been
whited out of John Law's shirt and his pipe removed. His
eyepatch has been inked into a mask and the figures of
Sand, a policeman and a thug have replaced the various
others which had appeared in the foreground. This large
figure of John Law/The Spirit also formed the basis of
Basil Gogos' painting on the cover of WAR#1,
and a poster by Will Eisner using the same artwork was
published. The Warren reprint is incorrectly dated as 16
March 1950.

519. 7 May 1950 - Pito
- Reprinted: KSP#56
(B&W)
- Notes: This story was
written and drawn by Andre Le Blanc in 1948 for inclusion
in the never-published second issue of Kewpies
Comics. The original version was 6 pages long
and, like the Pito feature in the first Kewpies,
it starred Pito and his Uncle Tolo and was set in South
America. To convert it into a Spirit Section, Tolo's
sombrero was whited out and replaced with a turban and he
was renamed Abu Ram. Pito became Li'l Pandit and the
whole story was displaced to India. There was an abortive
attempt made to transform the South American leopard into
an Indian tiger (third panel of page 1), but the idea was
abandoned as being too much work, leaving some
inconsistancies. The first page, top tier of page 2 and
last panel of page 7 consist of a framing sequence by
Eisner, drawn in 1950.

522. 28 May 1950 - The Good
Old Days
- Reprinted: KSP#57
(B&W), Baseball Comics#2
(B&W)
- Notes: This story was
written by Jules Feiffer and drawn by Phillip
"Tex" Blaisdell in 1948 for inclusion in the
never- published second issue of Baseball Comics.
The original version was 6 pages long and, like the
"Good Old Days" feature in the first issue of Baseball
Comics, it consisted of narration by
"Pop" Flye, illustrated with pictures of a
true, historical ball game. To convert it into a Spirit
Section, Flye was pasted over and became Dolan, narrating
the story to Sammy. The first two pages, top two tiers of
page 3 and bottom tier of page 7 consist of a framing
sequence by Eisner, drawn in 1950. In 1997, Kitchen Sink
released a second issue of Baseball Comics,
following on from their reprint of the first issue - the
section was reprinted as it appeared as a Spirit section.

caused this story to be hastily concocted in place of the
terminally late 554 (which thus ran one
week late). Pages 1, 2, 6 and 7 are by Eisner; pages 3, 4
and 5 are by Feiffer - and they contain parodies of
several Sections from 1950, namely: 503,
512, 515, 516,

- Reprinted: KSM#27
(B&W), Outer Space Spirit
(B&W), KSP#87 (B&W)
- Notes: Produced at the
last minute when it became obvious that the story planned
for that week would not be completed in time. In fact,
the story which should have been number 642
came in so late, it did not run until number 644,
entirely out of continuity! Another planned piece, meant
to run as Section 643, exists in the
form of layouts and script, but was never pencilled or
inked. Instead, portions of it were hastily incorporated
into the rush job which became Section 643,
itself another fill-in. The KSM reprint was in reduced
form, with all 4 pages appearing on one.
643. 21 September 1952 - The
Spirit Back On Earth
- Reprinted: KSM#27
(B&W), Outer Space Spirit
(B&W), KSP#87 (B&W)
- Notes: This fill-in was
run when the art for what should have been Section 642,
already one week late, didn't come in. It should be read
AFTER the late story, which was printed as 644.
See Notes to 642 - the plot of this
Section was meant to run for two episodes, but was
squeezed into one at the last moment.
644. 28 September 1952 -
Return From The Moon
- Reprinted: KSM#28
(B&W), Outer Space Spirit
(B&W), KSP#87 (B&W)
- Notes: Read this story
BEFORE Section 643, this was the tale
originally intended as 642.
645. 5 October 1952 - Denny
Colt, UFO Investigator
- Reprinted: KSM#28
(B&W), Outer Space Spirit
(B&W), KSP#87 (B&W)
- Notes: This is the last
story printed. Scripted layouts (with the lettering
already inked) exist for one more Section and there are
typescripts for two more beyond that. This
"UFO" series was meant to continue where the
"Outer Space" series left off.
