Description
The Shadow. Jesus, how scary is this guy?He’s smarter than you. He’s faster than you. He can kill any living thing while nothing, living or dead, can kill him. He has a cult of everyday men and women like you or I who would give their lives for him. He’s killed somewhere in the area of hundreds of people, yet law enforcement doesn’t even admit he exists.
Good grief! Don’t you see?
He is Satan, discarded soldier in a senseless war who lost his humanity only to find his destiny. The horror of the west left him a fallen angel, and the mysteries of the east made him a demon…!
He is Dracula, a monster that assumes a pleasing shape by day – the face of Lamont Cranston – and reveals it’s true colors by night. His real face? No one knows! A dread secret, kept by frozen tongues in shallow graves.
He is Sherlock Holmes, a deductive intellect unmatched in this or any other age! He is an omniglot and a master of the martial disciplines and the world’s greatest escapologist!
Good God, man! What twist of fate, what blessing from heaven, put this devil on the side of angels? Jesus! Do you realize what he could do if he were to join with the rest of ilk, with Shiwan Khan and Ra’s Al Ghul and Fu Manchu and Lex Luthor?
We would be royally screwed!

"Jesus, how scary is this guy?"
So true.
I like the combination of the upper two images--the differences in lighting work really well.

What can I say? When it comes to the Shadow, I've got a lot to say.

The last descendant of Genghis Khan, and arch nemesis of the Shadow. He too posesses the Shadow's ability to cloud men's minds, and make them do his bidding. It is but for the presence of the Shadow that man does not already kneel at his feet.

I remember a story way back when were Batman meets the Shadow and essentially geeks out over getting to shake hands with him. It's kind of fun to think that even the world's greatest detective looks up to somebody.

I remember an episode of the animated series where Batman meets the Grey Ghost, a character from old movie serials that he idolized. And I always thought it was neat that his parents were killed the night they went to see Zorro.

Boy, I don`t want to meet him in an alley of, well, Shadows!
He makes Frank Miller`s Batman look like Giffen`s Blue Beetle!

Shiwan Khan, R'as al Ghul, Lex Luthor, Fu Manchu...

I'd think he'd be at odds with Luthor, Al Ghul te al.

Only because Allah, from whom all things are born, saw fit, in his infinite wisdom, to make him hungry for Justice rather than Power.

I'm sure you have many other redeeming qualities.

No. The Shadow is a terribly classic character whose existed since radio drama was big.
