Countdown to Halloween 2023 DC SUPER-STARS "Phantom Stranger and Doctor 13 in 'Wraiths in the Rain' "

While Deadman battled half-human/half-demon gargoyles, The Phantom Stranger has not been idle, and now he's about to be joined by another whom he's met before...under less than ideal circumstances!

Left to right: writer Carla Conway, husband Gerry Conway (who was shown in Rutland during the Beast/Justice League/Thor crossover we presented two years ago, and wrote the Thor story which wound it up!), writer Marty Pasko, writer/editor Paul Levitz, and artist Romeo Tanghal (who drew this entire story except for the caricatures of the real-life people which were done by Joe Staton)!
To Be Concluded...Tomorrow!
Trivia: The mystic Stranger and parapsychologist/skeptic Thirteen were created about the same time in the early-1950s, though they didn't encounter each other until the 1970s.

We Interrupt this Blog for Breaking News: Dick Tracy Returns!

The dawn of a new day, courtesy of Mike Curtis and Joe Staton!

Noted comics pros Mike Curtis (Richie Rich) and Joe Staton (Green Lantern / E-Man) take over the long-running Dick Tracy newspaper strip as of today!
Created by Chester Gould in 1931, the incorruptible Chicago-based detective has also been the subject of movie serials, tv series (both live action and animated), radio shows, comic books (reprints and new stories), novels and short story anthologies, and a feature film!

BONUS for our faithful fans: Here's the opening credits from an unsold pilot done by 1960s Batman / Green Hornet producer William Dozier!
