The Shadow Strikes #2

DC's The Shadow Strikes! hits its second issue with a cover by Eduardo Barreto that crackles with pulp menace — a cloaked, hat-brimmed Shadow looms from the shadows with pistol raised, while a snarling, bestial figure menaces a struggling woman in the foreground. Subtitled "The Lord of Death!" and crafted by Jones and Barreto, this 1989 series brings the classic crime-fighter back with a dark, atmospheric energy that feels true to the character's roots.
