Deadman

During the horror boom of the early '90s' ushered in by Neil Gaiman's The Sandman at Vertigo, DC's demonic Deadman saw a resurgence thanks to two terrifying tales written by Mike Baron (Action Comics) with stunning art by Kelley Jones (Batman). Deadman has gone from supernatural hero to insane spirit of evil. Now, he is trying to pull back, to retreat from what he has become. But the forces of Hell aren't making it easy. And those who would aid him-the Phantom Stranger and Madame Waxahachie-for all their mystic abilities, cannot stem a tide of demons bursting forth to prey upon humanity. The power lies within Deadman, but it can only be unlocked if he faces the secret within him-the secret that has driven him mad. How can Deadman save the world when he cannot save himself?
