Lot #169: "Shadowhawk II #2" Comic Book -- 1993 Image

"Shadowhawk II #2" is a modern-age superhero comic book published by Image Comics in July 1993. Written and illustrated by series creator Jim Valentino with inks by Chance Wolf, this issue is the second chapter of the three-part "Encounter" storyline. The narrative follows the silver-helmeted vigilante as he continues his brutal crusade against the criminal underworld, but the stakes rise when he is tracked by the government-sponsored team, Regents. In this issue, titled "The Secret Revealed," Shadowhawk finds himself outgunned and forced to use his tactical brilliance to evade capture while maintaining his mission to "break" the spines of those who prey on the innocent. The book is a prime example of the gritty, anti-hero aesthetic that dominated the early years of the Image revolution. A notable entry in the founding Jim Valentino era. High degree of original cover gloss, with exceptionally bright white pages. Dimensions: 26 cm Pickup category timeslot {A}
