Justice Society of America #28

In "Phantom Menace," the Spectre enlists Atom-Smasher, Power Girl, Judomaster, and Damage to rescue the captured JSA members from Kung. As the Spectre confronts the dark forces binding Kung, he separates the vengeful spirits from their host—leaving the JSA to contain the souls while he seemingly dispatches Kung. But when the Spectre returns to the JSA brownstone, it becomes clear that Kung’s threat isn’t over. Written and illustrated by Jerry Ordway, with inks by Bob Wiacek and colors by Hi-Fi Designs, this 2009 issue delivers a chilling, supernatural showdown with lingering consequences. The cover, also by Jerry Ordway, captures the eerie intensity of the moment.
