DescriptionI've been very fortunate with mystery sketches. They've all been excellent!My requests are usually for noirish, pulpy characters. This time I asked for the Shadow clouding men's minds. What came back far exceeded my expectations! The criminals' expressions are not so much clouded as lobotomized and grotesque, reflecting their evil nature! Their clothing, at least to me, seems to place the Shadow in London or on the Continent dispensing justice. Cool! Thank you Alberto! If you're interested in a commission by him, he is repped by Mark Hay at Splash Page Comic Art. Cue radio introduction: "The Shadow, mysterious character who aids the forces of law and order, is in reality, Lamont Cranston, wealthy young man-about-town. Years ago in the Orient, Lamont learned the strange and hypnotic power that allowed him to cloud men's minds so that they can not see him. Lamont's companion, the lovely Margo Lane, is the only one that knows to whom the voice of the invisible Shadow belongs. Tonight's drama..." Social/Sharing |
