About the series
From 1987 to 1989, DC Comics revived the classic pulp hero The Shadow for a 19-issue series, with Dick Giordano and Jenette Kahn as its most frequent writers. The stories follow Lamont Cranston, the mysterious vigilante known as The Shadow, as he wages his one-man war on crime from the shadows of 1930s New York. This run stands as a key chapter in the character's comic book history, bringing a darker, more mature tone to the iconic figure during DC's late-1980s exploration of its licensed properties.
