Comment(s):

The Spectre's new status quo is not reflected in his appearances in this series (written by the same writer, by the way...). Either The Spectre-Force teams back with Corrigan and becomes tangible for these adventures or they occur before this story.
It has also been shown that the Spectre-Force becomes more violent when away from a human host, so it is probably tethered to Percival Popp for the duration of that series.
