“The Redeemer, Part 1: The Nature of the Beast”

In "The Redeemer, Part 1: The Nature of the Beast," The Spectre confronts a haunting new threat when Richard Hannigan's suicide unleashes Monsieur Stigmonus, a malevolent force that begins to torment Helen Jordan. As The Spectre seeks answers, he visits his brother Jack Jordan's family, only to be rebuffed by Jan Jordan, before turning to the Risen for guidance in confronting the growing danger. Written by J. M. DeMatteis and brought to life by Ryan Sook’s striking art—pencils and inks on the cover—this pivotal issue deepens the series' exploration of guilt, redemption, and the burden of divine justice.
