The Shadow #5

The Shadow looms large on this striking Butch Guice cover, twin pistols drawn and red scarf billowing against a smoldering amber sky, while a sea of skulls stretches beneath his boots — a grim testament to the cost of standing against him. Dynamite's 2015 series continues here in issue #5, with Cullen Bunn at the helm and interior art by Giovanni Timpano, promising dark, atmospheric pulp storytelling in the Shadow's shadowy tradition. If you enjoy your crime fiction steeped in menace and style, this one delivers the mood in spades.
