In "Prologue," Neal Adams delivers a haunting, visually striking chapter of The Spectre, where the spectral entity confronts the Psycho Pirate in a twisted game of power and memory. As the Spectre guides Jim Corrigan through a haunting vision of the past, the drifter's long-buried guilt resurfaces—only to face a chilling choice that tests his redemption. The story, written and illustrated by Neal Adams with cover art by the same, is a masterclass in mood and mystery, with Adams' bold, expressive art shaping a tale that lingers long after the final page.
