"Wow" lasted four issues (cover-dated July-Sept. & Nov. 1936). After it ended, Eisner and Iger worked together producing and selling original comics material, anticipating that the well of available reprints would soon run dry, though their accounts of how their partnership was founded differ. One of the first such comic-book "packagers", their partnership was an immediate success, and the two soon had a stable of comics creators supplying work to
In 1939, Eisner created Wonder Man for Victor Fox, an accountant who previously worked at
This period of Eisner's career is depicted in his semi-
"The Spirit"
In "late '39, just before Eisner negotiated an agreement with the syndicate in which Arnold would copyright "The Spirit", but, "Written down in the contract I had with 'Busy' Arnold — and this contract exists today as the basis for my copyright ownership — Arnold agreed that it was my property. They agreed that if we had a split-up in any way, the property would revert to me on that day that happened. My attorney went to 'Busy' Arnold and his family, and they all signed a release agreeing that they would not pursue the question of ownership" This would include the eventual backup features, " Selling his share of their firm to Iger, who would continue to package comics as the S. M. Iger Studio and as Phoenix Features through 1955, Eisner left to create "The Spirit". "They gave me an adult audience," Eisner said in 1997, "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 interview, [http://www.twomorrows.com/kirby/articles/16eisner.html "Jack Kirby Collector" #16 (June 1997)] ] "The Spirit", a seven-page, urban-crimefighter series, ran with such backup features as "Mr. Mystic" and "Lady Luck" in a 16-page Sunday supplement (colloquially called "The Spirit Section") eventually distributed in 20 newspapers with a combined circulation of as many as five million copies, premiering June 2, 1940, and continuing through 1952. Eisner's rumpled, masked hero (with his headquarters under the tombstone of his supposedly deceased true identity, Denny Colt) and his gritty, detailed view of big-city life (based on Eisner's Jewish upbringing in New York City) both reflected and influenced the " The strip is especially notable in other areas. First, it was the story of people, often the little people overlooked in the city's maelstrom. In some episodes of "The Spirit," the nominal hero makes a brief, almost incidental appearance while the story focuses on a real-life drama played out in streets, dilapidated Set in the Manhattan "manqué" of Central City, the strip featured a big-hearted supporting cast that included the gruff Irish police commissioner, Dolan; his gorgeous blonde daughter, Ellen, whose waifish manner belied the occasional vicious uppercut or scathing remark she could throw; and While Eisner's later graphic novels were entirely his own work, he had a studio working under his supervision on "The Spirit". In particular, Eisner's most trusted assistant on "The Spirit", however, was So trusted were Eisner's assistants that Eisner allowed them to "ghost" "The Spirit" from the time that he was drafted into the On Eisner's return from service and resumption of his role in the studio, he created the bulk of the "Spirit" stories on which his reputation was solidified. The post-war years also saw him attempt to launch the comic-strip/comic-book series "Baseball", "John Law", "Kewpies", and "Nubbin the Shoeshine Boy"; none succeeded, but some material was recycled into "The Spirit".
