About the series
In the late 1980s, DC Comics gave the Spectre a supernatural solo series that leaned into horror and cosmic justice, with Doug Moench and a rotating roster of artists like Gene Colan and Gray Morrow guiding the ghostly vengeance of Jim Corrigan. Across 31 issues, the series wove together eerie mysteries and guest appearances from mystical figures like Madame Xanadu and the Phantom Stranger, exploring the tension between divine wrath and human empathy. It stands as a moody, underappreciated chapter in DC’s supernatural canon, showcasing the Spectre as more than a punishing force.
