The Spectre v1 #3: "Menace of the Mystic Mastermind" (Neal Adams art)

Download The Spectre v1 #3





The Spectre's early adventures were decidedly odd. He had frequent conversations with the Almighty, made occasional trips to the hereafter to get clues from departed souls. He could walk through walls, turn crooks into skeletons, and grow as tall as a downtown office building. A grim, uniquely talented fellow, he didn't simply catch criminals, he enjoyed himself by destroying them. After one instance of spectral vigilantism, he observed, "One less vermin to peril decency."
