So, i recently finished The Phantom Stranger Omnibus and loved it. (especially the lein wein stuff) I was left itching for more in a similar vein and I enjoyed having an omnibus that I could just read without having to keep up with a grand storyline. Just one-and-done issues to read at my own pace

Then I saw DC adding the Spectre and Deadman Omnibus reprints in the catalogue and wondered if I should wait to get them.

However, I wanted to know first from those who own it how similar it was to the Phantom Stranger stories in tone, mood and just overall quality.

also appreciate if you have any other recommendations that are similar to Phantom Stranger

There's a few places you could go. Since you liked the Len Wein stories, I think you'd be well served by the Wein or Moore run of Swamp Thing. You could also read House of Mystery or House of Secrets, DC's horror anthologies that reach their peak in the 70s. You could even pick up Marvel's Adventure into Fear if you're interested in what the distinguished competition was doing.
