Lamont Cranston has taken to the streets to begin his
crusade as the mysterious and deadly SHADOW! He introduces himself to “The
Dandy Don” and his men and saves Claude Fellows (who will become one of the
Shadow’s agents). Lamont must also deal with stubborn Margo Lane, who seems to
know his secret (and has one or two of her own). Little does our hero know that
his biggest challenge in his newly started task is about to make his presence
known.
I am really enjoying Matt Wagner’s take of the character.
It’s pretty intriguing to witness the development of Lamont to become the
Shadow we are more familiar with. I just
wish he was doing the art (other than the covers). That is not meant as a disrespect to Wilfredo Torres, who is
doing a good job with the task at hand. This book is definitely worth checking out if you are a fan or just interested in the pulp hero.
