The Spectre by John Ostrander and Tom Mandrake Omnibus Vol. 2

As their landmark Spectre saga enters its second arc, writer John Ostrander (Suicide Squad) and artist Tom Mandrake (Martian Manhunter) escalate their gothic, metaphysical masterwork into a searing confrontation with faith, identity, and cosmic justice.

From the hellish temptations of Underworld Unleashed to the apocalyptic sweep of Final Night, the Spectre’s journey fractures across realms both physical and spiritual—ghost ships, cursed talismans, phantom cowboys, collapsing heavens, and the impossible task of judging a world on the brink.

Here Jim Corrigan’s turbulent partnership with the Spectre-force spirals toward revelation, culminating in the acclaimed arcs "The Haunting of America," "The Haunting of Jim Corrigan," and "The Search for God." As America’s darkest myths rise, as the dead demand vengeance, and as gods fall silent, the Spectre must face his greatest reckoning: can divine wrath find redemption? And can Jim Corrigan finally find peace?
