About the series
DC revived the classic pulp hero in this 31-issue series, running from 1989 to 1992, with a rotating team of writers including Gerard Jones, Robert Greenberger, and Elliot S! Maggin, and artists like Rod Whigham, Eduardo Barreto, and Mark Badger bringing the gritty urban vigilante to life. Lamont Cranston, his alter ego, battles crime alongside trusted allies Margo Lane and the occasional team-up with Doc Savage, updating the Shadow's shadowy crusade for a modern comics audience. This series is a key chapter in the character's publishing history, bridging his pulp-era mystique with DC's late-80s action-driven storytelling.
