Reaction to the Sunday New York Times story about Frank Miller's Will Eisner's The Spirit film, this posted on the popular site "ComicMix.com." This is just one, but I picked it out because Mike Gold is well known among comics pros for his many years working at DC. I also interviewed him for my biography, Will Eisner: A Spirited Life, and I know of his devotion to Eisner: Mike Gold (11:31 AM on Tue Jul 22, 2008) I can live with eliminating Ebony -- he's a difficult character to get across...

Will Eisner fans are getting louder in how much they hate Frank Miller's Will Eisner's The Spirit. Here are a few more samples of what you'll find by joining Yahoo! Groups' "Will Eisner Discussion Group": $$$$$$$$$ I will see it but I am not liking the stuff I've seen so far... too Sin City and less Spirit.
