Ernie Schroeder - Green Hornet #25 Complete 8-page Spirit of '76 Story "The Night of the Dark Moon" Original Art (Harvey, 1945). The Spirit of '76 joins Midnight as a character who bears more than a passing resemblance to Will Eisner's famous creation, the Spirit! Perhaps that's because Bob Powell was a former Eisner studio associate. Eventually Powell handed the feature off to Ernie Schroeder. Schroeder details each page of this thriller with a verve that rivals that of Will Eisner or Bob Powell. In a Jim Amash interview for Alter Ego #42, Schroeder recalled his early cartooning career: "I started doing comic books with Bob Powell. I had met him at a dance and we got together afterwards. He showed me the comic books he was drawing and I figured I could make a lot of money drawing them. Bob was a good artist. He was always an organizer; he loved to get people together." The Far East serves as the backdrop for this slam-bang yarn as the Spirit of '76 battles to save India from destruction by an arch villain. Each page has an image area that measures 12.5" x 18", and the art is in Excellent condition.
