The Shadow: The Death of Margo Lane #3

The Shadow charges forward on this striking 2016 Dynamite cover, twin pistols raised and red scarf billowing, his pale masked face set with cold determination against a crumbling, fire-lit backdrop. Beside him, a haunting inset portrait of Margo Lane renders her face half-skull — a chilling visual promise embedded right in the story's title, The Death of Margo Lane. Matt Wagner's linework and Brennan Wagner's moody crimson palette give the whole image a pulpy, atmospheric urgency that feels true to the Shadow's noir roots.
