The Collected Will Eisner's John Law

Wherever men live, be they nomads or city dwellers, there they must have law and a man to enforce it. Meet Detective John Law of Crossroads City. Strong, decent, hardworking and hard-nosed. Hes a man who believes in the law and order. Hes the last of a dying breed.|In 1948, Will Eisner produced the first issue of John Law Detective, which he intended to add to a line of self-published comics. However, after Eisner's Baseball Comics, Kewpies, and Pirate Comics failed to find an audience, John Law never made it to the newsstand and was quietly dropped, with much of the original artwork reworked in 1950 for his most famous creation, The Spirit.Featuring original stories by Will Eisner, Gary Chaloners award-winning reboot from 2004, including a previously unpublished John Law Story, and a foreword by long-time Eisner publisher Denis Kitchen, this is a must-have for not just Eisner fans but comic collectors of all ages.
