Except, of course, that it doesn’t exist. I don’t think that it was ever even solicited. The listing for The Spirit issue 13 in the October issue of Previews has a blown-up panel of the Spirit kissing Silk Satin where the cover should be, and the blurb describes a set of short stories about the series’s femmes fatales. Far from issue 13 being out this week (or last week, as I think that The Brave and the Bold may itself have been delayed), even issue 12 won’t be out until mid-January.
Still, let’s hope that the material intended for this issue doesn’t just disappear, but that it’s published next year. If nothing else, I’d like to see something better than a tiny, fuzzy reproduction of that Darwyn Cooke cover.
Update, 3 February Much to my surprise, issue 13 was published, with that Christmas cover, at the end of January 2008. The lead story was about Hallowe'en. No, I don't get it, either.
