The Spirit

I've heard of the Spirit, but did not know much about him.  I still don't, but this post on Pappy's Golden Age Comics Blogzine features a Spirit story from 1943.  It looks like the Spirit was just a guy in a blue suit and mask who hung around at a police detective's office waiting for some mystery to solve.  It's a living, I guess.
