Deadman by Kelley Jones: The Complete Collection
DEADMAN BY KELLEY JONES: THE COMPLETE COLLECTION showcases classic stories featuring the DC horror icon Deadman, written by Mike Baron (THE FLASH) and illustrated by the acclaimed artist Kelley Jones (BATMAN, THE SANDMAN).
He has gone from supernatural hero to insane spirit of evil. In this collection, Deadman faces a slew of malicious spirits and the damned humans attacked by these paranormal entities. He must save the souls of murdered carnival freaks trapped in the abandoned remnants of a defunct circus train, rescue kidnapped children and battle a tide of demons. Great power lies within Deadman, but it can only be unlocked if he faces the secrets within himself—secrets that have driven him mad. Can he save the souls of the living and the dead when he cannot save himself?
This collects the DEADMAN ACTION COMICS WEEKLY serial "Grave Doings," as well as DEADMAN: LOVE AFTER DEATH and DEADMAN: EXORCISM.
