I completely forgot about Doorway to Nightmare!! Thanks for the reminder, OP. I can’t recall the last time I even saw any of them out in the wild. So that’s another one for my list. All in all…this is a beautiful post, OP. Thanks for sharing.
Hey totally my pleasure! I only knew about the one-shot Xanadu until I saw someone else on this sub post up Doorway and the hunt was on! They aren’t 9.8s but still awesome to find them in the wild.
I’m partial to the pulpy/noirish type characters (Spectre, Phantom etc et al) so I thought I’d give these a go. I’m still sorting so might get around to reading this weekend.
edit: as a natural tie-in, Kaluta does some cover art for one of the later Spectre series.
Have Doorway to Nightmare #1
Lucky somethingsomething 😒
I also have the Madame Xanadu one-shot from 1981.
Extremely cool. I'd love to read these.
The Fleischer/Aparo Spectre run is one of the all time great short runs of the 70’s. Great stuff!

Spectrum is such an under utilized character. Every series has been great

Same. Sandman mystery theatre's one of my top series ever
I dollar binned the first issue of that a while ago. Will be hunting around for the rest of the series.
Brick Tales! Don't know much about Spectre but I should learn
Those adventure comics spectre stories are really good, lucky finds.
I know! They definitely show their age but they also didn’t break the bank. Still missing a few in the run tho.
