Volume 1 - 1st printing. Collects The Spectre (1992-1998 3rd Series) #0-31. Written by John Ostrander. Art by Tom Mandrake, John Ridgway, Joe Phillips, Jim Aparo, Mike Dutkiewicz, A.J. Kent, Dave Chlystek, Kelley Jones, Adam McDaniel, and Dennis Cramer. Cover by Tom Mandrake. THE '90S HORROR MASTERPIECE COLLECTED IN OMNIBUS FORM FOR THE FIRST TIME! In 1992, writer John Ostrander (Suicide Squad, Martian Mnahunter) and artist Tom Mandrake (Batman, Firestorm) collaborated on what would become one of the longest-running creative pairings in comics with their re-imagining of DCs avenging spirit, the Spectre. When New York City cop Jim Corrigan was slain, he was denied entry into the afterlife and was chosen to be the embodiment of Gods wrath on Earth. As the Spectre, Corrigan dispassionately metes out swift divine justice against evildoers. But Corrigans humanity also anchors him to his former life and attachments, which can be dangerous weaknesses against the forces of darkness. The first of two volumes collects the initial half of the cult-favorite series by Ostrander and Mandrake, featuring a glow-in-the-dark dust jacket, a new introduction and issue commentary by Ostrander, and never-before-seen development art by Mandrake. Hardcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 888 pages, full color. Teen Cover price $125.00.

Krazy Little Comics (1967 Topps): Mandrain the Magician is one of sixteen parody mini-comics originally produced as test market items in 1967, by the Topps Chewing Gum Company. They did not see full national distribution. All were written by Roy Thomas and feature Wally Wood cover and interior art. These minis spoof not only Marvel and DC super-heroes, but other comic characters as well, like the Phantom, Prince Valiant, and Tarzan. These possibly predate, or are at least contemporaneous with, Not Brand Ecch! #1 (08/1967), and are among the rarest of the Merry Marvel Marching Society era items. Full color, 2.5-in. x 3.5-in., no cover price.
