Description

"He is feared by all who transgress the law, by all who plan evil...

He comes from nowhere and melts back into nothingness as silently as his namesake...

He acts in the name of justice, striking swiftly, suddenly, finally...

With spitting automatics and a laugh that chills the marrow, he leads a band of loyal agents against the nation's wrongdoers..."

Denny O'Neil, The Shadow #1, 1973

Early 2000s commission

Maleev and my Shadow, 
Strolling down pulp avenue, 
Maleev and my Shadow, 
Radio to tell our troubles through 

And when it's twelve o'clock, 
We find him here, 
We want Lamont, 
For nobody's there . . . 

Maleev and my Shadow, 
All in Art and feelin' cool. . .

This is a really cool and different depiction of The Shadow. I love the posture and the brush strokes are so organic and beautiful!

I'm so used to seeing Maleev's work in color recently that I had no idea this was him until I looked up at the artist credit! Great bold and striking image of The Shadow. Very cool commission!

Love the sway of the figure in this unique take on the character.  His vestment & hat gives him the look of an Italian priest
