Darwyn Cooke's "The Spirit, Volume 1"

Like Charles Burns', Darwyn Cooke's drawing lines might as well come with a copyright warning, so it's fascinating that he manages his current homage to Will Eisner's "The Spirit" without giving up the style of a Darwyn Cooke comic. I love how he takes the IDEA of Eisner's classic splash pages and furthers it with double-splashes that are confident in their modernity. This is what a good update is, this is what Frank Miller should have defered to when he got the chance to defile Denny Colt's grave.
(Ebony White is here even- and watch how Cooke addresses the obvious with humor, where Miller simply eliminated the character.)
REPORTER (on meeting Ebony): "Now, who is this snack-sized Nubian savior?"
EBONY: "Name's Ebony."
REPORTER: "Ebony? You're playin' me, right? I mean, when you get home, do you stand on (the Spirit's) lawn with a lantern or what?"
THE SPIRIT: "No, it's Tuesday. I stand on HIS lawn tonight."
