Little Orphan Annie and The Shadow

 

Frank Robbins was an artist that I didn't fully appreciate as a kid.  At the time I thought his work was a bit sloppy, but when I look at his pages now, I am impressed by the amount of noirish action and excitement that he packed them with.  Plus, I love the thick brush strokes that he used. This cover comes about from a suggestion by Ken Roskos, a Patron of this Blog.  Thanks, Ken!

Code: Red in: "The Benefactor!"

For the third appearance of Code: Red, I thought that it was time to reveal just who was behind the formation of this team.  Who better than the most famous redhead in comic strips? I'm glad she's using some of that Warbucks fortune for good.
