The Spirit continues to evolve – the story in Police Comics #20 (April 1943) evokes horror as Ogre Goran, a vicious convict escapes, is horribly burned in a fire by his ex-fiance, then is captured by The Spirit. Ebony White shows surprising intelligence and deductive reasoning, proving he is more than just a racial stereotype.
