Written by Moritat, Mark Schultz. FIRST WAVE takes a break this month but THE SPIRIT marches on! Angel Smerti has delivered The Spirit into the deadly grasp of the Octopus, and the only one who can save him is- Angel Smerti?! Can The Spirit possibly warm her icy heart with a knife pressed against his throat? And in THE BLACK & WHITE co-feature, Michael Uslan and F.J. DeSanto deliver a tale of treason on the airwaves, stunningly illustrated in rich graytones by Justiniano!
