The Shadow #6

DC's "The Line of Super-Stars" title delivers a genuinely atmospheric entry in September 1974, as the classic tagline — "Who Knows What Evil Lurks in the Hearts of Men?" — sets the mood for "Night of the Ninja." Michael Wm. Kaluta's cover artwork is a moody standout: the Shadow looms large in his signature wide-brimmed hat and red scarf, dual pistols leveled, while a red-clad ninja crouches in a spotlight below, surrounded on all sides by armed gunmen closing in from the darkened alleyway. It's a tense, beautifully composed scene that captures everything compelling about this pulp hero's world — shadows, danger, and the unmistakable sense that the Shadow has the situation very much under control.
