“Death's Head”

In "Death's Head," Lamont Cranston’s mysterious demise at his club sends shockwaves through the underground, drawing the Shadow into a web of intrigue with Soviet diplomats and shadowy communists. Gerard Jones and Eduardo Barreto deliver a tense, atmospheric tale where the line between myth and menace blurs, all rendered with striking art and moody colors by Barreto and Tollin, and a cover by Stephen Hickman.
