The Shadow Strikes #28

The Shadow looms large and menacing over a tropical jungle setting on Steve Leialoha's cover for this 1992 DC issue — the caped, red-scarfed avenger bears down on a helpless figure sprawled in shallow water, one arm reaching desperately upward amid lush palm fronds. Titled "Aloha from Paradise!" and subtitled simply "Aloha" inside, the issue trades the Shadow's usual urban haunts for a more exotic locale, with Gerard Jones writing and Leialoha handling both story art and cover duties. It's a genuinely striking cover that makes good use of the high-angle perspective to remind readers why this pulp hero has endured for so long.
