Crimes and Punishments (collects #1-4)
One of the best books published by DC Comics in the 1990s. And it was consistently good. This series set a high standard of storytelling and art with each and every issue. As with every good story, the storytellers had a very clear idea of the story they wanted to tell. While the title character's roots is in the superhero world, Ostrander and Mandrake heavily employs horror and the supernatural, and yet never once strays from what makes this book so captivating: that of a personal journey of a man struggling to come to terms with himself and his pain. Another detail about this series which I so enjoyed: the monthly covers that always feature different interpretations of the Spectre by the very best working in the comics industry.
