The Spectre #5
In "Prologue," Neal Adams delivers a haunting, visually striking chapter of The Spectre, where the spectral entity confronts the Psycho Pirate in a twisted game of power and memory. As the Spectre guides Jim Corrigan through a haunting vision of the past, the drifter's long-buried guilt resurfaces—only to face a chilling choice that tests his redemption. The story, written and illustrated by Neal Adams with cover art by the same, is a masterclass in mood and mystery, with Adams' bold, expressive art shaping a tale that lingers long after the final page.

After a detour to the past, the Spectre finds the drifter again and leads Jim Corrigan to the Psycho Pirate, who has been draining the Spectre of his power to remove the mask Dr. Fate put on him. But when the drifter awakens and the Pirate orders him to kill Corrigan, the drifter realizes he killed Corrigan once before and refuses to do it again.
