The Shadow

I wouldn't mind seeing TPBs reprinting DC's 1989 The Shadow Strikes! either. That was actually The Shadow's longest running series (31 issues plus 1 annual) since Street & Smith's golden age Shadow Comics (101 issues). I'd love to see some sort of Archives-type volume with JUST the Shadow stories from Shadow Comics (despite the title, it was an anthology-type book like the early Action or Detective Comics). When Dark Horse Archives reprinted Green Lama, they reprinted all the "filler" material which made me feel like I was getting ripped off.

Agreed they can skip the Andy Helfer/Kyle Baker series. That was a little too bizarre to be called The Shadow.

There are a couple of interesting Shadow pieces I'd like to see. Didn't Marvel do a Shadow hard Cover Graphic at one point?

They did, with a great story about WW2. It's also by O'Neil and Kaluta, who did the DC series. If you look around at some used book stores you can probably find a copy. I come across them with some regularity -- and I mean your average, used paperback type of store. Probably seen 4 in the last year.

Still, I'd pick up a new version.

The DC O'Neil-Kaluta run is short enough. If DE is going to reprint it in a nice hardcover or trade paperback, they should include the Marvel Graphic Novel as well, which looked even better than the DC stuff because it had inks by the legendary Russ Heath.
