The fourth chapter of DC's "Body & Soul" arc arrives in this December 1988 installment of The Shadow, written by Andy Helfer with art and cover by Kyle Baker. Baker's cover is quietly unsettling — two figures, seen from behind, drag a bound and helpless captive across a hard floor, the warm amber palette making the scene feel both stark and ominous. It's a masterclass in implied menace, and with a subtitle like "Night of the Avenger," the stakes for this mature-readers series feel very high indeed.
