Review: This reviewer has long believed the 1970’s Shadow revival from DC was a little overrated – a notion reaffirmed by a recent reread of this debut issue. That’s not to say The Shadow #1 isn’t enjoyable. Writer Denny O’Neil taps into the Shadow’s pulpy roots with aplomb. This gritty, noir tale breaks no new ground, but its pulp-inspired ruthlessness is a bit shocking, even for the increasingly grim-and-gritty ’70s. Not as good is the art of Michael Kaluta. While his potential is certainly clear, the young artist’s inking here is light and scratchy, and his storytelling is sometimes confusing.
