The Shadow #19 a Jason Shawn Alexander production

I sure hope he has the ability to cloud men's minds 'cause he ain't exactly gonna blend into the Russian snowscape!

The Shadow #18 by Jason

Solid comic cover making use of the panel layout that defines comic books.  I do miss the billowing cloak with the crimson lining versus the overcoat and excessively long scarf.

The Shadow #16 by JSA


 Not my favorite.  He looks...ordinary.  And the fedora, nope.  I like the composition, just not the portrait aspect.  It reminds me of this classic splash page from Detective Comics #457.

The Shadow #15 by Jason Shawn Alexander


 Part of "The Light" story arc.  I like the cover but it doesn't feel Shadow-ish to me.  Nice art, as usual for Mr. Alexander.

Jason Shawn Alexander does The Shadow #14


 A bit fan of JSA's work.  This cover really is cool.  Not loving his less than slouch hat but that's a quibble I learned I was going to lose with many illustrators interpretations.  I'll be posting his other covers next week.

Jason Shawn Alexander #19

The last in the series by JSA.  I really like the pose and, if it had to be used, the design composition of the red scarf.

Jason Shawn Alexander #18

Needs a sable hued cloak rather than just a trenchcoat.  And a wider brimmed hat.  And lose the scarf.  Nicely rendered cover, just not sure how much it does for me from the viewpoint of a cover for The Shadow.

Jason Shawn Alexander #17

Probably could have done without the belt buckle.  Still, a striking cover.

Jason Shawn Alexander #16

I like a lot about this cover but have a complaint about the nose and the hat.  The brim is not large enough and the nose is not the "aquiline" enough.  Of course, I'm not a fan of the red scarf.  Alas, it is so nicely done that I just have to give it a thumbs up regardless of my qualms.

Jason Shawn Alexander #15

While not as classically inclined as Alex Ross' covers are, I think the covers (or just style) of Jason's are very intriguing.  What do you think?

Jason Shawn Alexander #14

Another comic artist/illustrator whose work I really enjoy.  Happy to have seen him do a few covers for The Shadow.  A lot of Kent Williams influence in his work.
