Blood & Judgment Part One

 It's too bad this couldn't have premiered one month earlier and celebrated the 55th anniversary of the first appearance of The Shadow in print.  And how cool is it to have that classic poster behind The Dark Eagle?!

Guess what's comin' next

 He's back... indeed!  This series, which I really liked when it first came out, has grown on me more as the years roll by.

Hopefully everyone has gotten their own issue of The Shadowed Circle #5

 It's pretty cool to see my painting gracing the cover of the current issue of The Shadowed Circle.  I'm currently finishing up a painting I hope will be the next cover of a very special issue.  Here's a sneak peek...

The end

 Well, at least of this version.  I've said it before and I'll say it here, "The Shadow Strikes!" was the best comic version of our hero.  Maybe if the Kaluta era run had lasted longer I'd be more on board with that run but for my money, this was the best.

Well, this is it...

 The finale has arrived.  At least they knew it when they published.  I can't say that it ended on a high note but it wasn't bad.  And they left the origin up in the air.  A possible beginning for The Shadow.  Tune in tomorrow for one last page of "The Shadow Strikes!"

Something I'm working on

 I wanted to do a faux 1930s movie poster featuring the two greatest pulp characters of all time.  The "World's Finest" concept came from the crew at The Shadowed Circle.  This is still a work in progress and I have no idea if it will ever turn into anything more than a vanity project but I'm okay with that.  This has been a blast to work on.  I'm trying to psych myself up to hand letter everything except the small text for the cast of characters.  Right now it's part digital (logos, text and purple fill) and part oil painting.  Doc is referenced from a pulp cover while The Shadow is from my imagination.

 Who do they think they are fooling?!  A brown costume?  Seriously?!  Sheesh, stupid bad guys...
