The Shadow #4

The Shadow cuts a striking silhouette atop a speeding locomotive in this moody fourth issue from Dynamite, his brilliant red cape the sole burst of color against a beautifully restrained black-and-white cityscape. Lee Weeks' cover composition is quietly thrilling — the low angle looking up at the train as it barrels beneath a stone arch gives the whole scene a real sense of momentum and menace. Si Spurrier, Dan Watters, and Ricardo Jaime continue their run on one of pulp fiction's most enduring figures, and this cover promises the tension is only building.
