A franchise of comic books, films, novels and a television series based on a comic by James O'Barr that he wrote over several years but was first published in 1989. There is a basic formula - a protagonist who suffers wrongful death, usually along with one or more loved ones, comes back from the dead for a RoaringRampageOfRevenge and is guided by a spiritual entity in the form of a crow - but the finer details vary from text to text.
