The only work I've read by Eisner is his A Contract with God. I've never gotten around to read any Spirit stories.

Watchmen is my favorite graphic novel, but I would never recommend it a new comic reader.

As for the actual question I can't answer as they are way too different to compare.

For me personally I prefer Watchmen, The Spirit is fun I enjoyed it alot more than I thought I would.But nothing can beat the amount of detail and the sheer depth of storytelling Alan Moore gave in Watchmen, plus its the only comic/graphic novel /collected series or whatever you fancy that made it too Time magazine's 100 Greatest English Language Novels from 1923 to the Present. Plus Stan (the man) Lee said it was his "all-time favorite comic book outside of Marvel."

Last note Zack Snyder please don't screw this up.

Watchmen Is a better Graphic Novel, And I bet the movie will be better as well.

Personally...I think there are better graphic novels. But if I had to chose I'd go with "Watchmen".

There are single issues of The Spirit which I prefer to Watchmen, but it has no continuing story arch, so it doesn't really amount to much as a whole compared to Watchmen.

Watchmen is better overall as a complete work, but of what I've read of the Spirit (the "Best-of" collection) kicks major ass. The artwork is a little better in Watchmen than Spirit, which is understandable since it's different generations of artists, but the writing is probably on par. Will Eisner is a genius.

Spirit should never be in the same sentence as Watchmen...unless your talking about graphic novels that Watchmen is better than.
