Fans of a cult comic book movie opening in the UK in January have been bombarding a website to buy the title character’s iconic red tie.

The UK’s leading online tie retailer TieWarehouse.co.uk has received a bunch of emails from fans eager to buy a tie in the same shade of red as The Spirit.

The cult film character is a dead cop who has come back to life to fight crime.

The film is released in the UK on January 1st, and is directed by Frank Miller.

His unique filming style is very dark, but highlights the character’s bright red tie.

Now a tie with a similar colour has gone on sale at http://www.tiewarehouse.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=2072.

Jason Winter from Tie Warehouse said: “We must admit that we had not heard of this film until a bunch of emails started to arrive from film fans in America and the UK.

“The visual style of The Spirit is unique and beautiful, as you would expect from a director and artist such as Frank Miller. The red tie is given such prominence, no wonder fans want to wear it.”

Tie Warehouse was set up in January 2004 and is based in Dartford, Kent.

There are nearly 2,000 different designs and styles of ties and accessories in stock at any one time, with approximately 100 new products added every month.
