Comment:	This is a great early Spirit section. But the real gem of the issue is Powell's Mr. Mystic's emotionally charged 5-page story!

Comment:	I was so glad to see this one show up on the site. It's my favorite of Eisner's numerous Christmas stories and it's possibly the best of all of the Mr. Mystic stories too (although woefully inappropriate for the season!). Great scans. Thanks!
