About the Author

Arnold Drake was a prolific comic book writer and co-creator of Deadman, Doom Patrol, and Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. Known for his offbeat, character-driven stories, Drake introduced Boston Brand in Strange Adventures #205, blending noir, mysticism, and superhero action.

Jack Miller was a longtime DC editor and writer who helped shape Deadman’s early adventures. His scripts emphasized the emotional and philosophical weight of Boston Brand’s ghostly existence.

Neal Adams revolutionized comic book art with his dynamic realism and expressive storytelling. His work on Deadman in the late 1960s is widely credited with elevating the medium and redefining superhero visuals. Adams’ contributions to Batman, Green Lantern/Green Arrow, and X-Men are equally legendary.
