Doc and Angus celebrate Neal Adams all year long in 2025 and in this fifth installment they reflect on Neal's contributions to horror comics in celebration of Halloween Horror Month. First up is his work on The Spectre!

The Spectre (1967-1969)

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08F784SPG

We read The Spectre (Issues #2-5) 1967-1968 . These issues don’t make a continual arc however they are strong self-contained stories with stunning Adams' illustrations.

In issue #2 there is a text page titled "Spectre interviews Neal Adams", which is used as a funny introduction of Adams into the art chores of the title.
