“The Spectre Strikes”

In "The Spectre Strikes," a haunting twist unfolds when the murdered Corrigan returns as a spectral avenger, confronting Benson and his thugs before they can silence the final witness, Clarice. Written by Jerry Siegel and brought to life with stark, expressive art by Bernard Baily—both inks and pencils—this 1940 issue delivers a chilling early glimpse of supernatural justice in a world where the dead may not stay buried. The cover by Bernard Baily captures the eerie presence of the Spectre with a striking, shadow-drenched image.
