Dick Tracy Meets The Spirit!

If ever there was a natural crossover, this is it. I only wish I could get my mitts on a copy of the print version of his great pairing. It was produced only conventions as a giveaway. 

I'd been following the Dick Tracy strip for a few months regularly and did not know this was happening until Will Eisner's The Spirit suddenly appeared in the strip by Mike Curtis and the great Joe Staton. Wowser! If anyone can capture the blend of drama and fun which Eisner produced at his best, it's Staton.

To see more covers like the amazing mash up of Dick Tracy and The Spirit above check out this link to Super-Team Family - The Lost Issues.

The fantastic faux cover above appears to my eye to be a blend of these evocative originals. The Gladstone Dick Tracy Adventures is by Joe Staton and the Warren The Spirit is by Will Eisner. Fantastic to see two of my favorite artists mashed-up so elegantly.
