The Shadow Strikes #4

High above a rain-slicked city skyline, the cover of The Shadow Strikes! #4 drops readers right into a brutal rooftop brawl on a steel bridge, where the Shadow — scarlet-caped and blazing pistol in hand — grapples ferociously with a knife-wielding adversary in mid-air. Eduardo Barreto's cover art crackles with kinetic energy, the two figures locked together with gunfire flaring and a blade raised overhead against the glittering urban backdrop. "Bitter Fruit," by Jones and Barreto, promises this December 1989 DC series at its pulp-action finest.
