Deadman Omnibus
Part of the DC Omnibus guide — every release, in reading order
The adventures of one of DC's most distinctive heroes, Deadman, are collected in a decades-spanning hardcover edition.
Originally introduced in 1967, Deadman was a circus performer known as "Boston" Brand who was murdered while on the high-wire. In the afterlife, a mysterious being known as Rama Kushna gifted his spirit with the ability to possess the bodies of the living so he could discover the identity of his killer and bring him to justice. Featuring spectacular art by Neal Adams, Jos Luis Garca-Lpez and others, these tales take Deadman across the DC Universe in search of justice.
