Description
By: John Ostrander | Illustrator: Tom Mandrake
As their landmark Spectre saga enters its second arc, writer John Ostrander (Suicide Squad) and artist Tom Mandrake (Martian Manhunter) escalate their gothic, metaphysical masterwork into a searing confrontation with faith, identity, and cosmic justice.
From the hellish temptations of Underworld Unleashed to the apocalyptic sweep of Final Night, the Spectre’s journey fractures across realms both physical and spiritual—ghost ships, cursed talismans, phantom cowboys, collapsing heavens, and the impossible task of judging a world on the brink.
Here Jim Corrigan’s turbulent partnership with the Spectre-force spirals toward revelation, culminating in the acclaimed arcs "The Haunting of America," "The Haunting of Jim Corrigan," and "The Search for God." As America’s darkest myths rise, as the dead demand vengeance, and as gods fall silent, the Spectre must face his greatest reckoning: can divine wrath find redemption? And can Jim Corrigan finally find peace?
This definitive volume presents the second half of Ostrander and Mandrake’s seminal run—one of DC’s most ambitious supernatural epics—in its complete, unbroken form. Collects Who's Who #8; The Spectre #32–62; Showcase '95 #8; The Spectre Annual #1; Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe #21; and Who's Who Update 1987 #5.
