Thank you for this

I wonder why they abbreviated "through" in the last panel?

...

...

...

Thanks OP wagners shadow work is fantastic, his Grendel series was great too

...

I like that this design references the original appearence of The Shadow back when he was just a radio announcer.

Also this threads needs some music

So this Shadow isn't the real Cranston right he's just using his identity as a mask

What evil lurks in your hearts, Anons?

...

Honestly, I don't mind. So long as there's some form of discussion going on.

...

...

>Legacy

I've never once even considered that.

...

...

That Lugosi sounds like Legacy, or that The Shadow is a legacy of the vampire archetype? I never considered the latter either, but it fits pretty well so far! Especially those eyes, that piercing gaze is straight Dracula.

>Finocchios

Shaped like Tommy guns, Marshmallows like sticks of dynamite and explosions.

I'd eat that cereal

I feel like it should be obvious because between The Shadow and Batman I can see a direct connection and Batman and Dracula (Lugosi)...maybe that's it. I or we, just aren't of a generation that would directly associate Dracula with that actor really. I don't know but it doesn't matter because the connection and the names double meaning through mispronunciation is all a really neat concept for the story.

...

...

...

Bump, I love the Shadow.

...

...

Dracula was one of The Shadow's inspirations. In fact some stories have suggested that The Shadow was immortal.
Walter Gibson, the man who created him, even described The Shadow as a "benign Dracula"

...

Yeah that was a real smooth way to draw a connection. Props to the writer.
