The Shadow: Volume 19
FORESHADOWING THE JOKER: "Voodoo Trail" and "Death's Harlequin"
To read the latest PRESS RELEASE on Batman's TRUE ORIGIN, click here!The Knight of Darkness returns in three thrillers that foreshadowed two
classic Batman villains. First, the Voodoo Master returns from the dead
to lead The Shadow on a "Voodoo Trail" to their final showdown, in the
story that inspired Batman's first supervillain, Doctor Death. Then,
The Shadow battles a murderous clown in "Death's Harlequin." Finally,
The Dark Avenger searches for a murderer who kills with a deadly
formula that causes his victims to laugh themselves to death in "The
Laughing Corpse," a classic Shadow script from the Golden Age of Radio,
while The Shadow-Batman connection is examined in a foreword by
Bat-scribe Denny O'Neil. This instant collector's item also showcases
one of George Rozen's greatest covers (reproduced directly from the
original oil painting), all the interior illustrations by legendary
illustrator Edd Cartier and commentary by popular culture historians
Will Murray and Anthony Tollin. (Vol 19 summary written by Anthony
Tollin, Sanctum Productions)
"It was the face of a man long since dead! The thin lips were drawn
away from skull-like teeth. The cheeks were sunken and leathery. Dank
black hair lay matted thinly on a baldish scalp the color of old
parchment. A living corpse in the costume of a gay Harlequin! With a
wide-muzzled gun. And a jeering laugh that made the silence in the room
crawl with menace." from Death's Harlequin
