However, this novel approach was soon reverted in issue #18 where Spectre and Corrigan started sharing the same body as they previously had. For the first time in the character's history, Spectre and Corrigan were separate beings, capable of existing without the other. The series was mildly successful during it's initial storylines, which were heavily focused on the supernatural aspect of the Spectre as well as the conflict between Spectre and his human host, James Corrigan. There were also a small number of minor supporting characters, none of which achieved any significance.

As a consequence of these stories, Spectre is stripped down of his powers and sent back to Earth where he could no longer deal with cosmic threats and instead, was forced to deliver retribution to mortal evildoers. The series started following the events of the Crisis on Infinite Earths and Swamp Thing (Volume 2) #50, in which Spectre played a prominent role. It was completely written by Doug Moench and illustrated by several artists throughout the run. The Spectre was an ongoing series featuring The Spectre.
