Spectre

A mysterious western-themed figure who debuted in Macabre Western, this Spectre operates in a horror-tinged frontier setting, crossing paths with characters like the Haunted Horseman and Rex Fury across AC Comics' eclectic genre-blending titles.

Riding out of the Bronze Age in 1972, this Spectre — a creation of Dick Ayers and Bill Black for AC Comics — is a rare find for collectors who love the wilder fringes of the comic book world. Across nearly two decades, this mysterious western-tinged figure haunted the pages of Macabre Western, Blazing Western, and FemForce, keeping some genuinely eclectic company: the Haunted Horseman, Rex Fury, Nightveil, and the legendary Tim Holt all share adventures in the same issues. With seven catalog appearances including one recognized key issue, this is exactly the kind of cult curio that reminds you how richly strange the AC Comics universe could be — well worth a dig through the back-issue bins.
