☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the entirety of Kelley Jones's run on the supernatural DC hero Deadman, including the miniseries Deadman: Exorcism and Deadman: Love After Death, along with the character's appearances in Secret Origins and other key issues. Jones's distinctive, moody artwork brings a gothic horror sensibility to the story of Boston Brand, the ghostly acrobat who can possess the living, as he battles dark forces and seeks redemption. This new edition gathers all the material from the earlier Deadman by Kelley Jones trade paperbacks into one complete collection.
"Chapter One [Part 1]: Grave Doings" kicks off a haunting journey as Deadman, adrift in grief and isolation, finds himself drawn to a secluded Vermont church during a honeymoon gone awry. When Madame W. unwittingly frees three spectral figures—Lucian Camponus, Reverend Amos Shattuck, and Chief Nebagamon—Deadman’s fragile peace shatters, plunging him into a mystery woven from memory and the unseen. Written by Mike Baron and brought to life with haunting visuals by Kelley Jones, whose distinctive pencils and inks define the cover and interior, this story blends eerie atmosphere with emotional depth in a 2017 release that remains a standout in the series.
In "Love After Death Book One," Deadman finds himself drawn to Ann Colby, a ghost haunting a decaying circus mansion, as their connection deepens amid the eerie stillness of the afterlife. When a chance to return to the living world arises, Deadman seizes it—taking over the body of Jack Trayner, a wounded Olympic hopeful—hoping to reclaim a life, and maybe a love, he thought was lost.
In "Love After Death Book Two," Deadman—occupying Jack Trayner’s body—navigates the eerie, dreamlike corridors of a haunted circus in search of his lost wife, Connie. As he confronts the twisted forces of Brazia and Byron Colby, the line between vengeance and longing blurs in a haunting tale of love that refuses to die.
In "Exorcism Book One," Deadman finds himself drawn to a secluded Vermont church on his honeymoon, where the quiet stillness hides a far more unsettling presence. When Madame W. inadvertently unleashes three restless spirits—Lucian Camponus, Reverend Amos Shattuck, and Chief Nebagamon—Deadman’s solitude turns into a haunting confrontation with forces he can’t ignore. Kelley Jones’ haunting art brings the eerie atmosphere to life, blending supernatural dread with the fragile intimacy of a love story already fraying at the edges.
