“The Night of the Falling Death!”

In "The Night of the Falling Death!", the Shadow—disguised as Lamont Cranston—takes a bold, unconventional step by temporarily marrying Margo Lane in a daring scheme to infiltrate a cross-border drug smuggling operation centered around Niagara Falls. Written by Michael Uslan and brought to life with dynamic art by Frank Robbins, inks by Frank McLaughlin, and color by Jerry Serpe, this 1975 DC thriller blends intrigue and suspense with a touch of personal risk. The cover, a striking piece by Joe Kubert, captures the tension of the moment with its dramatic composition.
