NEWSARAMA.COM: SDCC DAY 1 - WILL EISNER's SPIRIT LIVES IN NEW ONGOING DC SERIES: "First up in December 2005 is a project designed to introduce the character to DC audiences a Batman/The Spirit stand-alone special written by Jeph Loeb and drawn by Darwyn Cooke (for much more on this, click on the link for our conversation with Loeb), which will be joined by The Best Of The Spirit, an affordably-priced trade paperback collecting almost two dozen stories by Eisner, with a new introduction by Neil Gaiman.

Following that in 2006 will be an all-new ongoing The Spirit series written and drawn by Cooke."

Love Batman, love the Spirit, love Darwyn Cooke, love Jeph Loeb when he's trying... Guess I'll be buying a new, ongoing DC superhero comic next year after all.
