Halloween Horror THE SPECTRE "You Have Failed, Spectre!"

One of the least-known facts about DC's resident Angel of Vengeance...

...is that, for a while, he was reduced to being a CryptKeeper-style horror-host in his own book!

This status-changing story from DC's The Spectre #9 (1969) by writer Mick Friedrich, penciler Jerry Grandenetti, and inker Bill Draut has never been reprinted in color, so unless you have this over 50 year-old issue, you probably haven't seen it like this!

In the previous issue, God (yes, that guy!) removed the Ghostly Guardian's sight, forcing him to resolve a situation while blind, but restored it by the story's end!

The Spectre's comic lasted only one more issue, and the character's final Silver Age appearance a year later was in an annual Justice League/Justice Society team-up where he sacrificed himself  to keep Earth One and Earth Two from colliding!

He returned as the lead feature in Adventure Comics, in 1974, where the character was far more merciless and lethal than ever before!

But that's a story for another time...
