Book Synopsis

Boston Brand was a circus acrobat--until a bullet ended his life and began his mission. As Deadman, he walks the line between life and death, possessing the living to seek justice for the murdered and the forgotten. This collection brings together his most haunting and heroic tales from the Silver and Bronze Ages of DC Comics.

DC Finest: Deadman - How Many Times Can a Guy Die? collects the most iconic early appearances of Deadman, including stories from Strange Adventures #205-216, Aquaman #50-52, Justice League of America #94, The Brave and the Bold #79, 86, 104, 133, The Phantom Stranger #33, 39-41, World's Finest #223, 227, The Forever People #9-10, Challengers of the Unknown #74, and Superman #183. These stories follow Boston Brand's journey from vengeful spirit to reluctant hero, as he uncovers conspiracies, confronts cosmic forces, and crosses paths with DC's greatest icons. Featuring groundbreaking art by Neal Adams and others, this volume is a must-have for fans of supernatural superhero storytelling.

About the Author

Arnold Drake was a prolific comic book writer and co-creator of Deadman, Doom Patrol, and Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. Known for his offbeat, character-driven stories, Drake introduced Boston Brand in Strange Adventures #205, blending noir, mysticism, and superhero action.

Jack Miller was a longtime DC editor and writer who helped shape Deadman's early adventures. His scripts emphasized the emotional and philosophical weight of Boston Brand's ghostly existence.

Neal Adams revolutionized comic book art with his dynamic realism and expressive storytelling. His work on Deadman in the late 1960s is widely credited with elevating the medium and redefining superhero visuals. Adams' contributions to Batman, Green Lantern/Green Arrow, and X-Men are equally legendary.
