  • Issue #1
    Shadow Strikes (1989) 1

    Death's Head - Written by Gerard Jones. Art by Eduardo Barreto. Cover by Stephen Hickman. The Shadow is back -- in an all-new monthly series and back in the pulp era of the 1930's that spawned him. The first issue begins in the New York City of 1935, with a grisly murder at the Cobalt Club that sets The Shadow on the trail of a killer...one who may very well be from The Shadow's own mysterious past. It's a tale of mystery, murder and mysticism...a fitting return to the classic pulp era version of one of the most popular heroes of all time. Characters in this issue: The Shadow [Lamont Cranston]; Joe Cardona; Margo Lane; Harry Vincent; Anastasia Romanova (first appearance); Rasputin [Gregor Yefimovich] (first appearance); Madame Zara (first appearance). Deluxe format. 32 pages, full color. Cover price $1.75.
