In these tales from the 1990s, dead police detective Jim Corrigan tries to end his mission as the all-powerful but unforgiving Spectre. But the grisly crimes of a serial killer pull him back into the battle for justice, and send him on a trip to hell itself. And the enigmatic mystic known as Madame Xanadu tries to help Corrigan -- but her help may lead somone to suicide. A second volume will collect the balance of Ostrander \u0026amp; Mandrake's run.\n\nAnd when the Spectre decides to wipe out the human race, it's up to DC's mystic heroes including John Constantine, Etrigan the Demon, the Phantom Stranger, Doctor Fate, Zatanna and more to try and stop him.\n\nDrawing upon his theology studies, Ostrander brought new dimension to the character, placing the Spectre and his frequently brutal brand of justice in ethically nuanced situations.\n\nThis omnibus collects the first half of Ostrander and Mandrake’s run: \u003cem\u003eThe Spectre\u003c\/em\u003e #1-31 and #0, and material from \u003cstrong\u003eWho's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe\u003c\/strong\u003e #21.\n\nHandsome embossed dust jacket, with an entirely different Spectre painting on the book binding and it glows in the dark!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hermes Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59643814150430,"sku":"SPEC01H","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/spec01h-spectre-ostrander-omni-vol-1_book-1.jpg?v=1784519442","url":"https:\/\/shop.budsartbooks.com\/products\/the-spectre-by-john-ostrander-and-tom-mandrake-omnibus-volume-1","provider":"Bud's Art Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
