THE CROSS-OVER YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!  Before superheroes, there were Masks!

 

The Shadow, the Green Hornet, Kato, the Spider and more in a story that only Dynamite could tell!  For the first time EVER, these masked vigilantes are joining together in on EPIC series!  It's 1938, and the Justice Party has swept into office in New York State.  But the newly-elected officials are in the control of powerful criminals, who quickly corrupt the law to their own advantage.  When a fascist police state is instituted, the only ones who stand in defense of the innocent are masked vigilantes like the Shadow, the Green Hornet, Kato, and the Spider.  As the confrontation builds, more masked heroes will join the fight including Black Bat, Miss Fury, Black Terror, Green Lama and many more!  When the law is unjust, justice must be an outlaw!
