Dynamite Entertainment will launch a new ongoing The Shadow series and a collection of a classic Howard Chaykin Shadow story in April.  The ongoing series will be written by Garth Ennis, with art by Aaron Campbell and covers by Alex Ross, Howard Chaykin, Jae Lee, and John Cassaday.  The storyline, set in 1938, begins with a night of carnage on the New York waterfront that plunges the Shadow into a conspiracy involving the fate of the world. 


Howard Chaykin’s The Shadow: Blood and Judgment, last collected in 1991 by DC Comics, will be released in a new edition by Dynamite Entertainment.  The work is among Chaykin’s best, and a favorite among many comic creators.  Mark Waid said of his work, “Not since [Shadow creator] Walter Gibson has anyone been better suited to The Shadow than Howard Chaykin. 
Brian Michael Bendis called it, “The best Shadow story every published.”
