  2. "...what will happen if he becomes a werewolf, himself?" Only the Shadow knows!

    1. OK! That bit of mandatory whimsy is out of my system. Now back to seriousness. I remember in the fictional biography TARZAN ALIVE, sci-fi author Philip Jose Farmer had theorized that the Shadow was the post-WWI alias used by high-flying master spy Agent G-8. And, in one of G-8's adventures he and his wing men took down a German fighter squadron composed of wolf-men controlled by a Turkish mad scientist named Dr. Chezi! Ergo, if this was a Wold Newtonverse adventure ("chronicled" by Jess Nevins), it could be said, without much of fear contradiction, that the Shadow's thought-balloon is based on this prior wartime experience.

  3. chances are Lamont will have some training to maintain some self control. Are his bullets SILVER?? Will Tonto be helping him? Have Guns, Will Travel!!
    Happy fodder 's day for some.

    1. This looks like a job for Clark Savage, Jr. I mean, surely a polymath like him has run into this brand of werewolf, before!

    3. I'm sure if he needed to return to the Lower 48, In a relative
      hurry, that he could use one of his spare Rocketeer packs. He was the inventor in the comic book, after all!

  5. Very interesting pairing. I’d buy this. Speaking of which… I don’t think I’ve seen Rage (from the New Warriors) on these pages. Any chance of he and Aquaman or Static teaming up? Also, would love to see Arion and Shaman or Firestar and Firehawk together. Keep up the thrilling adventures…

  6. one reason I really like this is because I always felt that Moon Knight was more like The Shadow than Batman

    1. @my namesake: true that! I mean, the closest Bruce Wayne ever got to having a non-spousal female @ Wayne Manor was Dick Grayson's Aunt Harriet!
