David Liss Writer Commentary: "The Shadow is, without doubt, one of thecoolest pulp characters of all time, so I was thrilled to get a chance to addsomething to the legend. While we are working within the long and storiedtradition of Shadow adventures, I think we're also doing something original withthis character, and that's always a great combination. (Colton Worley's) art isstunning, and a perfect fit for our neo-pulp tone. This story is dark and moody,which I think a Shadow story should be, but I think we're also portraying a veryhuman and fallible version of the man behind the mask. Fans who have followedThe Shadow in comics over the years are going to be very interested to see howwe run with what's come before this."
