“Death Is Bliss!”

In "Death Is Bliss!", The Shadow teams up with Margo Lane and Harry Vincent to dismantle a chilling criminal operation run by Homer Bliss, a man who profits by eliminating homeless look-alikes to erase the identities of his clients. With Michael Wm. Kaluta’s striking art and a moody, atmospheric color palette by Jerry Serpe, this 1974 DC classic delivers a shadowy, suspenseful tale where deception wears a familiar face. The cover by Kaluta captures the story’s eerie tone, a striking visual that perfectly frames the issue’s dark intrigue.
