The Phantom Stranger #42
In "Deadman Walking," the Phantom Stranger and Blue Devil team up with Deadman as he battles to reclaim his physical form from the corrupting grip of a Black Lantern ring. With the weight of his fading spirit pressing down, Deadman confronts a chilling truth: the so-called "white light" offers no salvation against the looming threat of Nekron. Written by Peter J. Tomasi and brought to life by Ardian Syaf’s striking art, with inks by Vicente Cifuentes, colors by Ulises Arreola, and lettering by Steve Wands, this 2010 issue delivers a haunting, atmospheric journey through the afterlife. The cover, penciled by Syaf and inked by Cifuentes, captures the eerie tension of the moment.
