« The Shadow is probably the last established character I like that I haven’t gotten around to writing yet, certainly on this side of the Atlantic, » says writer Garth Ennis. « It makes a kind of bloody, bullet-riddled sense: I always had a feeling our paths would cross sooner or later. »

« The Shadow is an awesome character in an awesome time, » adds artist Aaron Campbell. « I mean what’s not to like? You have the old school mystique of eastern mysticism wrapped up with a badass gunslinger! »

« Garth is a writer who was born to write The Shadow, » states Dynamite Entertainment President and Publisher Nick Barrucci. « Not since Howard Chaykin’s acclaimed mini-series have I been this excited for a Shadow series. Garth will take The Shadow to a new level, and Aaron will compliment his scripts well. I cannot wait for fans to see Garth’s take on the character! »

Garth Ennis is a Northern Irish comics writer, best known for his immensely successful revival of Marvel Comics’ Punisher franchise and the DC/Vertigo series Preacher, co-created with artist Steve Dillon.

His work is characterized by extreme violence, black humor, profanity, an interest in male friendship, an antagonistic relationship with organized religion, and irreverence towards superheroes. Frequent artistic collaborators include Steve Dillon, Glenn Fabry, Carlos Ezquerra and John McCrea. Garth Ennis’ current work includes Dynamite’s hit series The Boys.

The Shadow is a collection of serialized dramas, originally in pulp magazines, then on 1930s radio and then in a wide variety of media, that follow the exploits of the title character, a crime-fighting vigilante in the pulps, which carried over to the airwaves as a « wealthy, young man about town » with psychic powers. One of the most famous pulp heroes of the 20th century, The Shadow has also been featured in comic books, comic strips and at least five motion pictures.
