*DC: Although Neal Adams is probably the artist most associated with Deadman, I’m sure many people forget that he was created by Carmine Infantino (with writer Arnold Drake) in Strange Adventures #205, before Adams came along a little later. A unique figure in DC’s supernatural heroes pantheon, Deadman has long been a stalwart of the DCU. Although this is the first copy we have seen of this issue for some time, we can only offer you a Poor copy, spine rolled, with many cover creases (including a long one horizontally across the middle) this pence stamped copy is marred by a spine split halfway up from the bottom and a tear from the bottom staple with an almost concertina-like creased segment. In addition there is a previous owner’s small sticker over the Comics Code box. There is also some staining to a page or two of the science-fiction back-up story. Not great for a Deadman collector, but perhaps ideal for a Strange Adventures completist who doesn’t want to pay an arm and a leg for this issue to help complete their run.
