Deadman #2
This volume continues the dark and violent saga of Deadman Wonderland, picking up after Ganta Igarashi's wrongful imprisonment in the deadly theme park prison. As Ganta navigates the brutal Carnival of Corpses and uncovers more about his own mysterious powers, he faces new threats and allies within the prison's twisted hierarchy. Collecting issues from the DC Comics adaptation of the original manga, this edition delves deeper into the prison's secrets and the sinister experiments conducted by its administrators.
In "The Track of the Hook," Deadman narrates a haunting mystery that begins with a stolen artifact and a vengeful spirit. When a hunchback named Nodo is drawn into a scheme involving the Ruby of Khafir, a private investigator, Johnny Double, and the Challengers of the Unknown are pulled into a case that leads to a ghost with a personal grudge. With art by George Tuska and Neal Adams, and a cover by Neal Adams, this 2012 issue blends supernatural intrigue with classic detective storytelling.
