Will Eisner's other clients for
American Visuals Corporation included RCA Records, an Oil
Filter company, the Baltimore Colts, and New York Telephone.
This work soon occupied most of Eisner's time, and in 1952,
despite ground-breaking stories by Fieffer and Wood, The
Spirit was abandoned in favor of this more profitable
work, which continued until the late 70s.

In the mid-60s, however, several articles
renewed popular interest in The Spirit,
and the strips were reprinted in a variety of forms that
continues to this day. Eisner was persuaded to create a
small amount of new Spirit material
at this time, but despite a growing fan insistence for more,
Eisner did not have much taste for revisiting what he saw
as the heroic fantasies of his youth.
