Jack Cole's ''Midnight'' was intended as a simple replacement for the original during Eisner's enlistment, but took on its own life in broader stories. Steve Ditko's character The Question shared much of the urban visual tone of Eisner's work, as did Alan Moore's version of Ditko's character, the ''Watchmen'' anti-hero Rorschach (superhero)/Rorschach. In addition, Moore's later character of Greyshirt (originally appearing in ''Tomorrow Stories'', and later in his own limited series '''''Greyshirt: Indigo Sunset'''''), was a modernization of the Spirit.
