The Spectre #1

In "The Sinister Lives of Captain Skull!", a 1967 DC classic, an experimental anesthetic transforms a wounded ambassador into a vessel for his long-dead ancestor—a ruthless 18th-century pirate with supernatural might. With the Spectre the only one who can stop him, the battle between divine vengeance and cursed legacy begins. Written by Gardner Fox and illustrated with bold precision by Murphy Anderson, the cover by Anderson captures the eerie intensity of the tale.
