Publisher: Register and Tribune Syndicate
Year Began: 1940

Country: United States
Format:
Description: Free newspaper inserts. No issue numbers. The first page serves as the front cover. Format can vary depending on which paper the section was published in. Often it was in a standard Golden Age US format and saddle-stitched. Sometimes it would be printed in tabloid size as a part of the regular newspaper-sized comics. Newspapers (mostly) that co-branded issues include: - The Baltimore Sunday Sun; - The Chattanooga Evening Times; - The Chicago Sun (later, November 1947, changed to the Chicago Sunday Sun and Times); - The Detroit News; - The Erie Dispatch; - The Greater Buffalo Press; - The Houston Post; - The Miami Beach Sun; - The Minneapolis Star Journal; - The Montreal Standard; - The Newark Star Ledger; - The Ogden (Utah) Standard Examiner; - The Philadelphia Inquirer; - The Philadelphia Record; - The Philadelphia Sunday Bulletin; - The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette; - The San Antonio Light; - The Sunday Compass (New York City); - The Syracuse Herald American; - The Syracuse Post-Standard; - The Washington (DC) Sunday Star; and - The Wichita Beacon. The Greater Buffalo Press printed a Spanish language version of the section, which is listed in a separate series. There are also Mutual Benefit Society of Baltimore, Maryland editions that have no dates. Most newspapers listed did not publish The Spirit for its entire run.
