The Golden Age era with More Fun Comics and All-Star Comicsĭetective Jim Corrigan is murdered, but came back with a vengeance! Or more specifically, supernaturally empowered as The Spectre in the Golden Age of Superhero comic books. The Spectre Reading Order Jim Corrigan, host of The Spectre Throughout the years, the mythology surrounding him has been explored and expanded, and you can discover more about the Spectre in this following reading order! Though he is weaker without a host, The Spectre is one of DC Comics’ most powerful characters. He would also sometimes wander hostless before being bound with another human host.
The two other most important hosts were Hal Jordan (a famous Green Lantern) and Detective Crispus Allen. Jim Corrigan was The Spectre for a very long time, but he has not been the only host of The Spectre. Together, they work to avenge victims and combat evil. In More Fun Comics #52 (February 1940), hard-boiled cop Jim Corrigan is murdered by thugs and his spirit is then fused with Aztar/The Spectre. But he came to repent and was punished by becoming the vessel for God’s Wrath. It all began a very long time ago when Aztar was part of a rebel band of angels led by Lucifer Morningstar. Created by by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Bernard Baily, The Spectre belongs to this particular kind of superhero: the avenging spirit. In comic books, dead men can come back to life to seek vengeance.
