Thanks for the fix-up!
Brand was always getting distracted by his altruistic side quests, leaving the mystery of his death to linger for years. At least at one point, he told Rama Kushna (definitely a Hindu name, but depicted by Neal Adams as a somewhat hot brunette) that he was done beimg a ghost... but changed his mind through circumstances.
I was trying to collect the full set of DC Comics Presents a few years ago (my youngest daughter loves 70s and 80s comics - she is ten and the absence of sophistication really suits her). I have about half of the series, but the only one my daughter does not like is the Superman / Deadman team up. There was a bit too much of the main Deadman plot in it, which I think she found a bit creepy.
Here's whatever issues you're missing in
DC COMICS PRESENTS (97 issues total, plus annual issues 1-4) :
https://readallcomics.com/dc-comics-presents-v1-001/That's funny, regarding her distaste for the Deadman issue, because I thought the Deadman issue (number 24) showed that Garcia-Lopez was a very compatible artist with the earlier Neal Adams run (and the Aparo issues after that).
https://readallcomics.com/dc-comics-presents-v1-024/ Aside from the early issues by Garcia-Lopez in DC PRESENTS, a number of other good issues.
About 8 or 10 issues by Jim Starlin, starting with issue 26.
Roy Thomas and Rich Buckler in 3 issues exploring the Shazam family characters.
Two Giffen issues, (52 and 81, if I recall), the first one introducing Ambush Bug., the second a Legion of Substitute Heroes issue.
And an Alan Moore, Rick Veitch Swamp Thing story (issue 85)
Among a number of other good issues.
She'd probably also enjoy Haney and Aparo's
BRAVE AND THE BOLD run (roughly 97-200, plus Neal Adams issues, (79-86, and 93) and Nivk Cardy issues (91-96) before that, all written by Haney ).
I'd also recommend the long run of
HOUSE OF MYSTERY 174-321.
And
HOUSE OF SECRETS 81-154.
And
KAMANDI 1-40 by Kirby.
