Description

Wow! Elmer Cantada knocked this one out of the ballpark! It reminds of the first New York City scene in the 1994 Shadow movie.

A huge thank you to Elmer and Jiggy Cruz of Next Comic Art.

The piece was unboxed and revealed on Bill Cox's Comic Art Live YouTube channel at the 53:46 mark:

Lucked out with Cantada going the extra mile to make this look like a full page with storytelling. Classic inset panel of the intense stare!

I hoped an artist from Next Comic Art would pick my request because I wanted to see how they would approach a classic pulp character. As Hubert Humphrey would say, I'm pleased as punch with the result! Or, as Jack Abel would say, hubba, hubba!

Thanks Lee. It indeed looks like a page. EV is very talented. He should be hired to do a Shadow series!
