The Spectre also found himself becoming more and more powerful: in his fight against Shathan (a poorly disguised Satan stand-in) they hit each other with planets. In the 1970s, the Spectre was revamped, now being taken back to his original horror roots: he would track down murderers and then execute them in some pretty twisted ways (for example, turning a hood to wood and then cutting him with a buzzsaw). 1 lasted for 10 issues, from December, 1967 to June, 1969. He also appeared in #64 (September-October, 1966), before gaining his own magazine. He was revived in "Showcase" #60-61 (January-April, 1966). The character was then dropped for the following twenty years. He was regularly featured with the Justice Society in "All-Star Comics" #3-23 (Winter, 1940 - Winter, 1944).
SPECTRE DC CRIMES AND JUDGEMENTS SERIES
The Spectre held his own series in "More Fun Comics" until issue #101 (January, February, 1945). The relationship between Corrigan and The Spectre varied over the years at one point, they were actually separate characters, with The Spectre merely using Corrigan's body to "rest" when he needed to, much to the latter's chagrin. As for Corrigan, he broke off his engagement to Clarice Winston since he was no longer a living human being, but otherwise he just went on with his life, as if nothing had happened (his murder never having been discovered). He also found himself easily defeated despite his nonliving nature and his incredible powers, just so the other members of the group could have a chance to save the day. However at the time, superheroes were getting in vogue, so he was soon added to the roster of the Justice Society of America, and treated pretty much as any other superhero he even acted and talked as casually as the others. In the afterlife, he decried the injustice of his murder, and an unseen voice (later interpreted as being God's) granted his wish: he returned to life, but with supernatural powers that he soon used to kill his murderers.Īt this point, other than in his physical appearance, Spectre was your typical supernatural avenger character. In his origin story, the Spectre was Jim Corrigan, a police detective who was murdered by criminals. The character first appeared in "More Fun Comics" #52 (February, 1940), created by Jerry Siegel and Bernard Baily.
SPECTRE DC CRIMES AND JUDGEMENTS SERIAL
He's a superhero ghost, though in practice he has been everything from a supernatural serial killer (of criminals) to the Agent of God's Wrath over the years.
