"The Spirit [was] the world's first truly middle class superhero. This is a guy who was not out to save the world from alien invasions or from a huge supervillain's plot to take over the USA, but who was pretty much there to make his neighborhood a better and safer place to live. There was a charm and poignancy to the character and his mission even though, in the course of any story, he may get the crap beat out of him." — Michael Uslan
1940 - 1952: The Comic
"They gave me an adult audience, and I wanted to write better things than superheroes. Comic books were a ghetto. I sold my part of the enterprise to my associate and then began The Spirit. They wanted an heroic character, a costumed character. They asked me if he'd have a costume. And I put a mask on him and said, 'Yes, he has a costume!'" — Will Eisner Buy the Graphic Novels by Will Eisner

"When (Uslan) invited me to do this, first I said I can't do this and then I said I can't let anybody else touch it," said Miller, who became friends with Eisner before latter's death. "I intend to be extremely faithful to the heart and soul of the material, but it won't be nostalgic. It will be much scarier than people expect."

It is the story of a former rookie cop who returns mysteriously from the dead as the Spirit (Gabriel Macht) to fight crime from the shadows of Central City. His arch-enemy, the Octopus (Samuel L. Jackson) has a different mission: he's going to wipe out Spirit's beloved city as he pursues his own version of immortality. The Spirit tracks this cold-hearted killer from Central City's rundown warehouses, to the damp catacombs, to the windswept waterfront... all the while facing a bevy of beautiful women who either want to seduce, love or kill our masked crusader. Surrounding him at every turn are Ellen Dolan (Sarah Paulson), the whip-smart girl-next-door; Silken Floss (Scarlett Johansson), a punk secretary and frigid vixen; Plaster of Paris (Paz Vega), a murderous French nightclub dancer; Lorelei (Jaime King), a phantom siren; and Morgenstern (Stana Katic), a sexy young cop. Then of course, there's Sand Saref (Eva Mendes), the jewel thief with dangerous curves. She's the love of his life turned bad. Will he save her or will she kill him? In the vein of "Batman Begins" and "Sin City," "The Spirit" takes us on a sinister, gut-wrenching ride with a hero who is born, murdered and born again. ________________________________________ _______ NEW STUFF: http://image.bayimg.com/dajcbaabh.jpg http://image.bayimg.com/dajccaabh.jpg http://image.bayimg.com/dajcdaabh.jpg http://image.bayimg.com/jajpkaabn.jpg http://i26.tinypic.com/33k50s3.jpg MY CITYYY download: http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?id=1585694&vid=225572 ________________________________________ _______ Gabriel Macht, Samuel L.
