The Shadow looms large on Howard Chaykin's striking cover for this 1987 DC annual, dual pistols blazing and spent casings flying against a vivid pink backdrop tiled with mocking laughter — a perfectly unsettling visual tension between the grim vigilante and whatever chaos surrounds him. Writer Andrew Helfer and artist Joe Orlando team up for "Fragment of the Sun," promising a mature-readers story that suits this dark, atmospheric chapter in the Shadow's DC era. If you've been following Helfer's run, this oversized annual looks like a compelling place to spend an evening.
