Boston Brand’s role as the worlds greatest acrobat changes abruptly after an assassin’s bullet puts an end to his life, leading to his emergence as a dead avenger (courtesy of the goddess Rama Kushna) in search of his killer.
Deadman helps (and hinders) plenty of heroes throughout the Silver and Bronze Age, particularly Batman, who he figures can help him catch his mysterious killer.
The collection consists of 576 pages for a suggested retail price of $39.99.
