I always have dug The Spectre, and I brought back our 2007 article on the character written by Bradley Mason Hamlin directly below to remind everyone how cool he is. I was thrilled to learn that there was an exclusive short of The Spectre included in the Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths DVD. It’s done with a great funky early ’70s exploitation vibe that fits the character perfectly. The story isn’t the best, but it captures the spirit of the character, and is worth the extra $5 for the 2 disc version so you can watch it (and you get 2 Justice League Unlimited episodes, to boot). Gary Cole provides the voice for Jim Corrigan, while Alyssa Milano handles the vocal chores for the female lead. It’s a part of what appears to be a new series of that will be included as extras on future DVDs called “DC Showcase” which will feature other characters in the future. Keep up the good work, DC!
That feature was seriously stunning. I think I liked it even more than the real feature, which is saying something because I really liked the JLA movie too. Great music, voice acting, the visuals were stunning, and I loved the old film grain.
