Description

A spectacular vintage 11x17 piece by the singular Tony Salmons. Unbelievable that 2003 was 23 years ago now! I think this is a terrific example of Tony's ability to generate energy on the page with his design work and not just a frenetic line quality. He makes great choices in composition, dynamic perspective, and using blacks and negative space to lead eye around the piece and generate that energetic feel that is associated with his work. Hey Nick Barucci if you're looking for a Shadow cover in the future - wink wink!

If only there were more work of his out there, Salmons would be just as popular as some of the legacy names we champion for bringing us thrills through the years.

You beat me to this one - congrats!  Salmons was a force for a while, slinging ink like a master!

I kept wanting to type those words claim.  This is such a great take on the Shadow.  The angles really make this work.  The black and white is perfect without the grays.  Great pickup.

Terrific!  Love the POV, design, lighting, background elements, and the unique but perfectly in-character facial indications in this Shadow portrait.  Salmons is one-of-a-kind

Score! what a great example of Salmons dynamic shapes and exaggerations ( looking at that little gun hand on the left). Congrats.
