Showcase #60

DC's Showcase #60 from 1966 spotlights the triumphant return of the Spectre, with Murphy Anderson's cover depicting the white-and-green Ghostly Guardian looming large against a cosmic backdrop, energy blazing from his outstretched hands as he confronts a yellow-and-pink armored adversary amid swirling planets and streaking rockets. The banner boldly proclaims it "the most exciting comic book event of the past 20 years," and the cover promise of a full-length story — "The War That Shook the Universe!" — hints at a clash of genuinely cosmic proportions between the ghostly guardian and a dark demon. A compelling 12-cent package for anyone drawn to supernatural heroes operating on a universe-shaking scale.
