The Shadow #13

Dynamite's The Shadow #13 brings Alex Ross's painterly cover work to haunting effect — a figure robed entirely in white, head bowed and hands clutching something that bleeds crimson, hovers above a vast, blood-drenched red cloak that engulfs a city skyline below. The stark contrast between that luminous white and the spreading scarlet creates an image that feels simultaneously sacred and deeply unsettling. Writer Chris Roberson and artist Giovanni Timpano deliver the interior pages of this 2013 series entry, promising the same brooding atmosphere the Shadow has always commanded.
