The Shade #11

A towering pharaoh figure crackles with wild lightning across Tony Harris's cover for this 2012 DC series, while a shadowy, hat-wearing figure — recognizable as the Shade himself — watches from the lower corner amid swirling, richly colored chaos. The cover tagline "Last Stand Against the Celestial Pharaohs!" sets an appropriately grand, mythic tone for James Robinson's story, brought to life inside by the triple-threat artistry of Frazer Irving on pencils, inks, and colors. It's a visually striking package that makes issue #11 one of the more memorable entries in this twelve-issue series.
