“Deadman's Bluff!”

A graveyard at night sets the stage for this atmospheric 1974 DC thriller, with Deadman's pale, red-costumed specter lunging forward in full supernatural fury while terrified civilians clutch a lantern among the headstones — and the Phantom Stranger's shadowy silhouette looms ominously in the foreground. The header promises "Deadman's Bluff!" making this a rare team-up of two of DC's most enigmatic supernatural figures, rendered with moody precision by cover artist Jim Aparo. With writing by Arnold Drake and interior art by Mike Grell, this issue delivers the kind of eerie, atmospheric storytelling that made DC's mystery line so compelling in the Bronze Age.
