DYNAMITE ENTERTAINMENT FOR AUGUST

SHADOW #1

Written by Si Spurrier, art by Daniel HDR, covers by Kenneth Rocafort, Michael William Kaluta, Brandon Peterson, Neal Adams, Tyler Kirkham.

For the better part of a century the Shadow's sinister laughter brought the chill of fear to evil-doers -- but in our modern times, the streets of Manhattan have gone largely silent. But he is not forgotten. Not by the people he's saved. Mary Jerez, is one of those people. The Shadow saved her from a horrifying school shooting -- Mary knows all too well what evil lurks in the hearts of men. So when a horribly burnt man -- incredibly strong and fierce, despite his terrible injuries- arrives under her care as a resident at the hospital -- she believes she knows who he is, too. Is this mysterious man actually the Shadow -- and with Mary's help, will evil-doers again know what it means to fear his terrible justice?
