The Shadow #100

Dynamite pulls out all the stops for this 48-page milestone, and Matt Wagner's cover sets the tone perfectly — the Shadow looms front and center, twin automatics crossed at his chest, red scarf and sweeping black cloak framing his eerily green-lit face beneath the wide brim of his fedora. Behind him, a vast wall of skulls rises above a shadowy Art Deco cityscape, making the centennial issue number feel genuinely earned. With Wagner handling both writing and art — and Brennan Wagner adding color atmosphere — "The Laughing Corpse" promises a celebration worthy of one of pulp fiction's most enduring figures.
