When his mystic powers fail, The Shadow travels the globe on a bloody search for answers. He attempts to reconnect with his spiritual masters in Nepal, but is sidetracked by an opium smuggling operation. Afterwards, he travels to the frontlines of the Spanish Civil War in pursuit of arms dealers and a would-be dictator. Who is the maniacal El Rey, and how will The Shadow dispense justice when he discovers that a former flame serves as his brutal enforcer, the Black Sparrow?
This 168 page collection reprints issues 7-12 of the hit series written by hard-boiled crime novelist VICTOR GISCHLER and drawn by AARON CAMPBELL, JACK HERBERT and GIOVANNI TIMPANO, and features a complete cover gallery by ALEX ROSS, JOHN CASSADAY, DARWYN COOKE, TIM BRADSTREET, MICHAEL GOLDEN, FRANCESCO FRANCAVILLA and more!
"THE SHADOW continues to be a comic book well worth the price."
-- AINT IT COOL
"THE SHADOW continues to soar to new heights of excellence under the wing of Gischler and Campbell. It’s your one stop shop to classic, period-specific adventure that, as I have said before, is as worthy as the classic radio drama from whence the Shadow came."
-- COMIC HYPE
"THE SHADOW continues to grow and is becoming a must-read series every issue. The Shadow may know what lurks in the hearts of men, but Victor Gischler and Aaron Campbell know what lurks in the heart of making an amazing THE SHADOW series."
-- COMIC ADDICTION
"Aaron Campbell continues to impress on The Shadow, as his well-defined look seamlessly blends with the whims of the new series writer. He absolutely nails the mood of the story with his detailed and thick black lines that offer not just depth but reverence."
-- UNLEASH THE FANBOY
"What this company has done with near 100-year-old heroes and mystery men is simply amazing. It also doesn't hurt that they have a fantastic creative team for this book, either."
-- GEEKS OF DOOM
