Temporarily brought back to life as a White Lantern, Boston helped other revived characters come to terms with the world and befriended many more of DC's spookier characters, paving the way for his appearance as a member of the Justice League Dark once he was a ghost again. Still, he had little impact on the DC Universe as a whole until the Brightest Day storyline. He did get a couple of mini-series devoted to him, a four-issue one in 1987, a two-issue one in 1989, a five-issue one from 2001 to 2002, and a 13 issue run in 2006. He would go on to in team-ups with darker superheroes like Batman, The Phantom Stranger, and Swamp Thing for the rest of the twentieth century. Initially written by Arnold Drake and drawn by Carmine Infantino, although they got replaced by Jack Miller and Neal Adams until the character's story arc ended with Strange Adventures #216. He first appeared in Strange Adventures #205 (October, 1967). Still dressed in his circus costume, he continued to use his stage name: Deadman.
He returned to the world as a ghost and found that he had been given the ability to possess any living being by Rama Kushna, a powerful Hindu Goddess, so that he could find whoever killed him and earn some justice in the world. Story: 8.0 Art: 9.0 Overall: 8.Boston Brand is a DC Comics character who was a circus trapeze artist that was assassinated during one of his performances. If you enjoyed the first issue, the second continues the journey Adams has crafted and the art shows off why he’s considered one of the best. Adams uses a couple of contrasting settings on Deadman’s journey as well as bringing in some entertaining fight scenes that uses Deadman’s abilities and seeing him fights as himself or as a possessed body. Much like the first issue, the inclusion of the characters’ odd arrivals creates an interesting twist in the story as how Adams uses each characters’ particular talents to Deadman’s aid. And also like the first issue, they’re not the best help to Deadman as he tries to find Hook and his former sensei. Much like the first issue, the second manages to bring in a few other DC characters including The Phantom Stranger and Etrigan.
Neal Adams delivers another solid issue in series. Hold the cover of Deadman #2 up to the light and the danger that was invisible seconds before will be revealed! Now, any lingering doubt that Deadman was deliberately murdered in cold blood, and not as a test for the Hook to join the League of Assassins, is put to rest once and for all!
