The Shadow: The Death of Margo Lane #2

Matt Wagner's moody cover for this 2016 Dynamite series sets a tense, noir-drenched scene: a red-scarved Shadow looms grimly behind iron bars while a determined woman in a trench coat fires a revolver in the foreground, all framed against a striking cascade of dynamite sticks. The stark composition — captive legend, blazing gun, and an ominous wall of explosives — makes clear this pulp thriller has real stakes. Brennan Wagner's atmospheric colors deepen the shadows and saturate those crimson cylinders to unsettling effect, giving the whole image a charged, dangerous energy.
