     THE SPECTRE: CRIMES AND PUNISHMENT is a thought-provoking book that uses a super-powered entity to explore philosophical and theological issues of morality. Retold and redefined in this volume is the origin of the Spectre, the most powerful being in the universe. As the Wrath of God bonded on a human soul, the Spectre roams the Earth in order to confront evil and avenge the unavenged dead as a form of penance. Paying for his earthly sins, the Spectre must not only oppose evil but also understand why men commit it. Once this metaphysical journey is completed, his mortal soul will be freed and another will be called upon on this holy mission of redemption. - DC Comics.com
