The Shadow #2
Looming large against a carnival backdrop, the blue-caped Shadow levels his pistol with cool menace as the tattered tents and banner of a freak show collapse around him — Michael Wm. Kaluta's moody cover art perfectly captures the pulp atmosphere that made this character a radio legend. The cover teases "Who is… The Freak Show Killer?" with the Shadow's immortal boast that he, of course, knows the answer. Writer Denny O'Neil and artist MW Kaluta were crafting something genuinely atmospheric for DC in 1973, and this second issue shows that creative partnership in confident, shadowy form.
