| Notes | All the Spectre stories in this issue were written by Michael Fleisher for the Spectre's run in Adventure Comics in the 1970's. The Spectre was cancelled before Jim Aparo could draw the stories. When this mini-series began reprinting those Spectre stories Jim Aparo was given the go ahead to illustrate these scripts for this issue. |

| Notes | Written in 1975, drawn in 1988 (supposedly; in an interview with Michael Fleisher in The Comics Journal #56, 1980, it is flatly stated that he wrote "two [Spectre scripts] that were never drawn," and this, which makes THREE, not only has a different letterer and a different inker from the other two--and two separate people having deadline trouble is highly unlikely under the alleged circumstances--but also a title that does not match those of the other twelve stories, which are done to a strict formula, specifically "[Something] and/of the Spectre"). |
