The Spectre #27
“The Beginning of the Beginning”
In "The Beginning of the Beginning," J. M. DeMatteis crafts a haunting, introspective moment as the Spectre, reflecting on his time as Hal Jordan, wrestles with his role as guardian to Helen Jordan. Norm Breyfogle’s striking interior art, rendered with precision by Dennis Janke and colored by Guy Major, brings emotional weight to the Spectre’s quiet resolve, while P. Craig Russell’s evocative cover captures the issue’s solemn tone.
