The Shadow Strikes #25

The crimson-cloaked Shadow crouches low on this striking 1991 cover, twin pistols drawn as a massive armored figure looms overhead brandishing a blade — a menacing tableau that perfectly frames the story arc "The Swords of Shevan Khan." Randy DuBurke's cover art balances sharp, moody linework with a bold contrast between the Shadow's vivid red cloak and the cold blue tones of the lurking giant above. It's a satisfying milestone as this DC series hits issue #25, with the interior brought to life by the creative team of Gerard Jones, Rod Whigham, and Gerry Fernandez.
