He was a vigilante with a secret identity: Denny Colt, a criminologist. Supposedly killed in a fight with a criminal called Dr. Cobra, Colt had been buried in Wildwood Cemetery. He was, however, still alive—a concoction of Dr. Cobra’s had put him in suspended animation—and he emerged from the grave to shock and delight his friend, Police Commissioner Eustace Dolan. In the years that followed, The Spirit pursued criminals from an underground sanctuary in the cemetery. Even the surroundings went beyond set pieces and became characters unto themselves: logos became immersed in architecture or pieces of paper blowing in the wind, rain fell in thick sheets, buildings swayed like living things, and shadows wrapped around and dramatically embraced their darkness around everything. The Spirit logo could be words on billboards,street trash,background structures or even buildings of Central City itself.<span lang="EN" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"TimesNewRoman";mso-ansi-language:EN"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:15.75pt;border-style:none;padding:0in;"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:13.5pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"TimesNewRoman";mso-ansi-language:EN">Points of Interest '''<span lang="EN" style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"TimesNewRoman";mso-ansi-language:EN"> ''' <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in0in12pt30pt;text-indent:-0.25in;line-height:15pt;"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Wingdings;mso-fareast-font-family: Wingdings;mso-bidi-font-family:Wingdings;mso-ansi-language:EN">§   <span lang="EN" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"TimesNewRoman";mso-ansi-language:EN">Wildwood Cemetery <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:15.75pt;border-style:none;padding:0in;"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:13.5pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"TimesNewRoman";mso-ansi-language:EN">Residents '''<span lang="EN" style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"TimesNewRoman";mso-ansi-language:EN"> ''' <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in0in0.0001pt30pt;text-indent:-0.25in;line-height:15pt;"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Wingdings;mso-fareast-font-family: Wingdings;mso-bidi-font-family:Wingdings;mso-ansi-language:EN">§   <span lang="EN" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"TimesNewRoman";mso-ansi-language:EN">The Spirit
