The Spectre v1 #5: "The Spectre Means Death" (Neal Adams art)

Download The Spectre v1 #5





When he next returned the Ghostly Guardian was nastier and meaner. He came back in Adventure Comics #431 late in 1973 in a story written by Michael Fleisher and drawn by Jim Aparo. His goal was to destroy "the vermin of the underworld." His career has waxed and waned ever since and he's returned as a guest and in titles of his own. In 1999 Jim Corrigan's spirit went on to glory and the ghost of Hal Jordan, the hero formerly known as Green Lantern, assumed the role. The Spectre still has blank eyeballs. The new Spectre recently explained that he was no longer "the vessel of the Lord's wrath. Now I serve as the spirit of redemption."
