After being spoiled by the Neal Adams stories in the first two volumes, this one is quite a departure. The stories are almost like night and day, as this was not good. I'm assuming this wasn't some of DC's best from the 70s, as the stuff here is pretty silly. The Superman/Batman relationship in the Brae and the Bold issues is not at all what we've come to expect from the two.

Not the best Deadman stories, but it's still interesting to read the stories chronologically.

Besides the fact you can tell DC just dumped all of this in one book with very little effort, there's not much here to enjoy. The best parts are the Phantom Stranger stuff, everything else is goofy and badly written.

I've read several of the issues collected here before in Showcase Presents The Phantom Stranger Vol. 2, where both Deadman and the Phantom Stranger co-headlined a title. Artist Jim Aparo was a Neal Adams clone in a good way. I love his stuff, and he does the bulk of the artwork in this book. Mike Grell handles the artwork on Phantom Stranger No. 33. Grell is another incredible artist, and his work is woefully uncollected. We need full color Warlord collections, DC!

The writing in this book is lovably dated Bronze Age goodness. It holds up fairly well here in 2013. It seems to me that if you criticize anything about the writing in modern comics you get labeled a dinosaur. I just feel that while some of these Bronze Age writers may not be technically better writers than modern writers, many of them are better comic book writers. There is something to these third party narratives that add depth to the story. Many modern comics fans hate them; I do not. This should be a welcome addition to any self respecting comic fan's bookshelf.

Great to see these old stories back in print.
