I've previously ranted about how much I loved the Fleisher/Aparo version of the Spectre. I've pleaded for a return to that version. Dave from Yet Another Comics Blog took issue with my naming this the all-time greatest Spectre team, since he thinks the John Ostrander/Tom Mandrake run was the best. There's a cool interview with them over at Silver Bullet Comics. I haven't read this series yet, although it's on my reading pile and I'll get to it after I finish getting caught up with Exiles. Those Spectre covers really make me want to read faster. God, I loved Ostrander's Suicide Squad, one of the best DC series ever written. Nuff said.
I'm not so sure that I 'took issue' with you. I think that both the Fleisher/Aparo and the Ostrander/Mandrake Spectres are good, though I prefer the O/M version personally. I think you'll like Ostrander/Mandrake, even if it doesn't supplant F/A as your favorite :)
I need to read it though, Dave, he's one of my favorite writers. Thanks!
The Ostrander-Mandrake run on Spectre was also the home of the best cover-gimmick of the 90's:
A glow-in-the-dark cover!!! (I even think they did it twice).
