About the series
In the early 2000s, DC Comics resurrected the Spectre for a 27-issue run that explored the cosmic and psychological depths of the vengeful spirit. With a rotating team of top-tier talent including writers J. M. DeMatteis and John Ostrander, and artists Norm Breyfogle, Ryan Sook, and Craig Hamilton, the series wove a dark, introspective narrative featuring Hal Jordan as the Spectre, grappling with divine justice and human frailty. This era of the character stands out for its ambitious, philosophical storytelling, cementing the Spectre as a haunting force in DC's supernatural corner.
