Wrath of the Spectre #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection reprints the early 1970s stories from Adventure Comics featuring the Spectre, written by Michael Fleisher with art by Jim Aparo. It follows the grim supernatural vigilante as he delivers brutal, Old Testament-style justice to criminals, marking a darker turn for the character. The volume also includes the character's debut in Showcase and other backup tales from the era.
In "The Wrath of... the Spectre," a mysterious hag wielding a voodoo doll strikes down a board member of Sterling Textiles, Inc., warning the company to stop producing their infamous peek-a-boo dresses—or face more deaths. As the Spectre hunts her, reporter Earl Crawford, drawn by the bizarre murder, sees a chance to finally confront the enigmatic supernatural force he’s long pursued. Written by Michael Fleisher and illustrated with gritty precision by Jim Aparo—whose dynamic pencils and inks define the cover—this 2005 issue blends occult dread with journalistic obsession in a story that’s as much about fate as it is about justice.
