	The Brocken - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This Brocken Spectre appears when the sun shines from behind a climber who is looking down from a ridge or peak into mist.
		The spectre appears huge because the mist obscures the reference points by which an observer can judge its size, and because the shadow falls on water droplets of varying distances from the eye, confusing depth perception.
		The Brocken, or Blocksberg, is the highest peak (1142 meters) in the Harz Mountains in Germany, between the rivers Weser and Elbe.

	Cardigan Comics - Australian comic books
		Most Australians, then, can sleep easily in their beds at night, secure in the knowledge that while the spectre of comics stalks the streets of the rest of the world, here in the lucky country they are spared that horror.
		Australian comics realize that they are building their own tradition, and their own audience, here and now, from scratch, and they laugh at the enormity of the task.
		Australian comics, every last hastily-scrawled, shittily-photocopied, badly-stapled, wonky A5 mini, is another Molotov cocktail thrown into the shopfront of the banality of the globalised, digitalized life of the 21st century.

	Touching the Light - Brocken Spectres
		The name Brocken Spectre originates from the highest top in northern Germany, the Brocken in the Harz mountains, where legend has it that a climber fell to his death after being startled by the unearthly appearance of a haloed human figure in the swirling mists.
		Brocken Spectres often appear from mountain ridges when the ridge is clear and the corrie below you is filled with mist, or when the sun suddenly breaks through the mist.
		I would guess that this [Brocken Spectre and glory] was formed from fresh mist having droplets of uniform size (because three glory rings are visible and differing droplet sizes would blur the outer ones out).

	Brocken bow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Brocken bow, also called Brocken spectre or Mountain spectre, observed and described by Johann Esaias Silberschlag in 1780, is the apparently enormously magnified shadow of an observer cast, when the Sun is low, upon the upper surfaces of clouds that are below the mountain upon which he stands.
		The phenomenon is often observed on mountain peaks but is recorded in literature with special reference to The Brocken, a peak in the Harz Mountains in Germany where the Brocken bow sometimes produces spectacular effects.
		The apparent magnification of size of the shadow is an optical illusion that occurs when the observer judges his shadow on relatively nearby clouds to be at the same distance as faraway land objects seen through gaps in the clouds.

	Wrath of the Spectre Review
		The Wrath of Spectre mini-series is accompanied by editorials extolling the brilliance, the "sophistication", of the series, and hammering home the theme that it was the protests from comics folks (fans and pros) that did it in.

		The Spectre now tackled crazy, homicidal villains whom he dispatched with his almost limitless powers in various grisly ways (pushing the boundaries of what the Comics Code Authority would permit).
