Paul Levitz was born in Brooklyn, NY in 1956, and entered the comics industry in 1971 as editor/publisher of The Comic Reader, the first mass-circulation fanzine devoted to comics news. He continued to publish TCR for three years, winning two consecutive annual Comic Art Fan Awards for Best Fanzine. His other fan activities included editing the program books for several of Phil Seuling’s legendary New York Comic Art Conventions,. He received Comic-con International’s Inkpot Award in 2002, the prestigious Bob Clampett Humanitarian Award in 2008, and the Comics industry Appreciation Award from ComicsPro (the trade association of comic shop retailers) in 2010. Levitz also serves on the board of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund.

Levitz is primarily known for his work for DC Comics, where he has written most of their classic characters including the Justice Society, Superman in both comics and the newspaper strip, and an acclaimed run on The Legion of Super-Heroes, a series he’s recently returned to write. Readers of The Buyers’ Guide voted his Legion: The Great Darkness Saga one of the 20 best comic stories of the last century, and visitors to the site comicbookresources.com selected the same story as #11 of the Top 100 Comic Book Stories of All Time. DC Comics has just issued a new hardcover edition of Legion: The Great Darkness Saga, which made the New York Times' Graphic Books Bestseller List.

Cumulatively, Levitz has written over 300 stories with sales of over 25 million copies, and translations into over 20 languages. As a DC staffer from 1973, Levitz was an assistant editor, the company’s youngest editor ever, and in a series of business capacities, became Executive Vice President & Publisher in 1989 and then served as President & Publisher from 2002-2009. He continues as a Contributing Editor, but is now concentrating on his writing.

His current writing projects include Taschen’s 75 YEARS OF DC COMICS: THE ART OF MODERN MYTHMAKING, which the LA Times praised for "its colossal ambitions, insights and collected rarities" and the NY Times called "richly conceived history."

During the seventies and eighties, DC released a number of mini-series and one-off stories featuring Deadman after DC cancelled his series in Strange Adventures. I always thought Deadman was a character with huge potential and followed these stories. Starting a couple of years ago, DC started collecting all these stories in a new series of trade paperbacks. If you're a fan, too, you should buy this third volume in the series.

I want to review this on two levels.
1. The format,
I got this as a kindle book for reading on my iPad. I usually use comixology for comics and graphic novels, but some stuff isn't available. I had previously purchased Alan Moore's 'Supreme" in this Kindle format, and was unimpressed with the 'zoom' features. This implementation is slightly better. Each frame can be 'zoomed', but it requires a double tap, to zoom and a double tap to 'unzoom'. So bottom line, its getting better, but the comixology 'guided viewing' format is still superior.
2. The content.
I like Deadman. His recent adventures in Brightest day, and current adventures in DC Presents and Justice league dark are certainly fun and focused.
The first two volumes in this reprint series were excellent, giving a cohesive origin and early quest for Deadman as he tries to find his own Killer.
In this volume we get the sense that DC were unsure as to how to use Deadman after those early stories. He appears in a couple of Batman stories involving the possibly non-canonical (but maybe now canonical) Thomas Wayne Jr, Batman's brother (!?). And he appears very tangentially in a Lois lane/Superman story.
The best use is in the reprinted Phantom Stranger stories. Phantom Stranger and Deadman are a good pairing, as they are both "other worldly", but the stories seem to lose context when ripped away from the other Phantom Stranger stories that are the foundation for the re-told events.
I look forward to a fourth collection, the material from Adventure Comics and Action Comics in the late 70's and late 80's perhaps, where Deadman appears to be more the focus of stories he is in rather than a by-stander/observer?
This collection is for completists only.

But other than that this book continues to print all of Deadman's appearances in chronological order. Mike Grell and Jim Aparo are the main artists in this book. Paul Levitz writes most of the stories. Not as good as the Neal Adams books, but still not a bad presentation for the character.

This book was not as good as book one & two. The team ups with Batman and Superman weren't very good. But I did like Deadman's team ups with the Phantom Stranger , they were excellent, I wish they could of been a permeant team. I hope books 4 & 5 are better.

2.0 out of 5 stars Deadman tells no (very good) tales
Reviewed in France on August 16, 2014

Cet ouvrage poursuit une édition intégrale en trade paperbacks, commencée au début de cette décennie, des aventures du personnage de Deadman, avec la publication dans ce troisième tome de ses apparitions en tant qu'invité d'aventures d'autres héros, tout au long des années 1970.

Il convient de préciser d'emblée que ces histoires ne sont aucunement du niveau de celles publiées dans les deux précédents tomes (cf. ' Deadman Book One ' et ' Deadman Book Two ', 1967-1970), qui avaient beaucoup fait pour la renommée naissante de Neal Adams.

Ce troisième tome suit une logique de présentation chronologique selon la date de parution originelle des comic books qu'il compile. Mais il pourrait être reconstruit en deux ensembles :

- le premier regroupe les comic books WORLD'S FINEST #223 (juin 1974) et 227 (février 1975), THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD #133 (avril 1977), SUPERMAN FAMILY #183 (mai 1977),

- le second associe les comic books PHANTOM STRANGER #33 (novembre 1974), 39-41 (novembre 1975 à mars 1976) et DC SUPER-STARS #18 (février 1978).

WORLD'S FINEST est la série qui réunit Batman et Superman pour des aventures en commun. Les deux numéros se suivent à distance. Batman apparaît dans son rôle de détective et il n'est pas question de "super-villains" mais d'enquêtes sur des meurtres à coup de boomerang en métal (#233) et un trafic d'or entre l'Europe et les USA (#227). Dans le premier cas, l'enterrement de la première victime, auquel assiste Batman, se passe dans le cimetière où est enterré Boston Brand, l'homme que fut Deadman. Ce dernier se signale à Batman et les deux décident de faire équipe pour mener l'enquête. A des kilomètres de là, le reporter Clark Kent se voit délivrer l'ordre de mission pour Gotham et faire des reportages sur les crimes au boomerang. Superman s'associe à Batman mais découvre que ce dernier lui cache des choses sur les indices trouvés... A moment, Deadman réussit l'exploit de s'incarner dans Superman, bien que ce dernier ne soit pas constitué (et pour cause) comme le commun des mortels... Dans le #227, Batman est à la recherche de Deadman pour des raisons qui ne peuvent être révélées sauf à "spoiler" le mystère. Là encore, Bats et Suoes n'ont pas tout-à-fait le même agenda. Retrouvé par le plus grand détective du monde, Deadman fait à nouveau équipe pour conclure l'enquête, qui se solde par un "deuil dans la famille". Les scénarios sont de Bob Haney et les dessins d'un artiste de devoir, au style classique et plutôt simple mais efficace. *** et 1/2

THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD #133 associe de nouveau Batman et Deadman pour une enquête policière transatlantique sur un trafic, de drogue cette fois. Deadman, avec ses facultés fantômatiques de passe-muraille et d'emprunt du corps d'autres personnes, se révèle source d'économie de matériel d'écoute sophistiqué et de masques en latex pour l'Homme Chauve-Souris. Deadman réussit le double exploit tout nouveau de se réincarner dans un portrait peint accroché au mur et d'imiter la voix du personnage portraituré ! Bob Haney est à nouveau au scénario et Jim Aparo aux dessins. ***

SUPERMAN FAMILY #183 offre ici une aventure de Lois Lane. La journaliste fait un reportage sur une institution s'intéressant aux perceptions extra-sensorielles. Evidemment, il ne tarde pas à se passer des choses curieuses dans cette institution et le petit ami de Lois, Superman, toujours à l'affût, ne tarde pas à se méler du sujet. Il s'en suit que le Kryptonien ne tourne plus rond et qu'il se met à déc***er à pleins tubes, faisant des empilages de véhicules au milieu de la rue ou s'amusant à passer le mur du son en pleine ville. A Lois, aidée d'une élève douée de l'institution, de sauver la partie !

Quant à Deadman, son "featuring" se limite à deux cases seulement de cette histoire de 20+ pages. Le scénario est de Cary Bates et les dessins de Kurt Schaffenberger et Vince Colletta. Ces dessins sont de facture très "Silver Age Classic". ***

Ces quatre récits s'inscrivent dans la tradition bonne enfant de comics de super-héros pour jeunes enfants. Deadman est un faire-valoir peut-être un peu terrifiant mais de héros "positifs" et, pour être tirés par les cheveux, les récits restent amusants.

Tel n'est pas le cas du reste des récits regroupés dans ce recueil, pour lesquels Deadman est le faire valoir d'un très mystérieux "Phantom Stranger", que je découvre avec cette lecture. Porteur d'on ne sait quels terribles secrets, pouvoirs, buts etc., le personnage se sert de Deadman dans le cadre d'aventures horrifiques, au sens "grand guignol" du terme. Les nombreuses références à des épisodes antérieurs de ce fantôme ne renforcent bien évidemment pas l'intérêt d'une lecture déjà peu agréable...

Arnold Drake écrit PHANTOM STRANGER #33, Mike Grell le dessine dans un style influencé par Neal Adams mais sans ni sa verve ni son coup de crayon. **

Les trois épisodes suivants de Phantom Stranger, qui forment un "arc" avec sorcier fou et démons, sont écrits par l'alors jeune auteur Paul Levitz et dessinés par le vétéran philippin Fred Carillo, dans un style très "horreur à deux balles" des années 1970. **+

La dernière rencontre entre Phantom Stranger et Deadman intervient dans le comic book DC SUPER-STARS #18, sur un scénario mauvais de Martin Pasko et des dessins sans grâce aucune de Romeo Tanghal et... Dick Giordano. *

Cela donne une moyenne de "** et 1/2" qui réservera la recommandation de cet achat aux seuls "complétistes" des aventures de Deadman... ou aux fans de Phantom Stranger.
