\"'The<\/a>Since 2012, Dynamite<\/a> has had the rights to do The Shadow<\/strong> comics. Since then in addition to an on-going series (now ended), they have had several mini-series and one-shots with The Shadow. This is the third of four articles looking at what they have produced, here focusing on the several one-shots.<\/p>\n

The one-shots are The Shadow Over Innsmouth<\/em>, The Shadow Annuals<\/em> 2012 & 2013, The Shadow Special<\/em>, The Shadow Special 2014<\/em>, The Shadow #0 (One-Shot)<\/em> 2014, and The Shadow #100<\/em>. There is also Altered States: The Shadow,<\/em> which I covered in another posting, as I did for the 2014 one-shot.<\/p>\n

The Shadow Over Innsmouth<\/em> has The Shadow along with Margo Lane<\/strong> in fog-bound Innsmouth, after they landed their seaplane there. After getting a tale told them of Captain Marsh<\/strong>, the South Seas, the Deep Ones, and more, they discover that it’s just a cover to scare people off from a major bootlegging operation that even includes a submarine. But The Shadow makes short work of it. The coda at the end has H.P. Lovecraft<\/strong> hearing the same tale, which we assume is the source of his story, “A Shadow Over Innsouth.”<\/p>\n

The first Shadow Annual<\/em> came out in 2012.<\/p>\n

A second annual came out in 2013. This one has The Shadow in Las Vegas in 1947 were he runs into a woman he knew when he was a pilot in WWI. The woman hasn’t aged a bit. He discovers the reason, and puts an end to her and Bugsy Siegel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Shadow Special<\/em> came out in 2012.<\/p>\n

\"'The<\/a>The Shadow Special 2014<\/em> is titled “Death Factory.” The Shadow and his agents look into a car manufacturer that is run by a former German ace that The Dark Eagle<\/strong> went up against in WWI. The ace has a scheme to attack America by fomenting racial unrest, and is helped by a man in a mechanical suit. Several of The Shadow’s agents are involved, with Jericho Druke<\/strong> having the largest part.<\/p>\n

The Shadow #100<\/em> issue is interesting, as it has six separate short stories. One is done by Francesco Francavilla<\/strong>, another by Howard Chaykin<\/strong> (who works in a character based on DC founder Major Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson<\/strong>), another by Michael Uslan<\/strong> (which works in a node to Batman<\/strong> and has The Shadow met Orson Wells<\/strong>), another by Chris Roberson<\/strong> (which has The Shadow recruiting a new agent from the underworld), and one from Matt Wagner<\/strong> that is more of an illustrated story.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately at this time, none of these have been collected in trade paperback. So you’ll need to hunt them down in the back issue bins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
