Which means we might get more Helfer/Baker in the almost as good "Body & Soul" some time after that. Which is going to beg the question, the last issue of the series, #19, ends (spoiler alert) like this:
With the Shadow in a similar condition. And because I'm a man who owns too much paper, we were promised this for "Nuts And Bolts" in 1989:
Never published, of course, and instead a few months later we got a more traditional take on the character in THE SHADOW STRIKES. I don't have the early issues of that book, but I've heard that there's some mention of the abandoned storyline there, maybe a promise of a special to wrap it up? Can anyone confirm? Anyway, now 25 years later I doubt we're going to see a continuation of the story by anyone, much less the original creators. But one can dream. Presumably something must have been written and maybe drawn before the plug was pulled.
I read Chaykin's 4-issue miniseries of the Shadow, but I only got the first issues of the Andy Helfer series.

Cheers.

ReplyDeleteThat cliffhanger bugged the poop out of me. I share your dream !
ReplyDeleteYou've probably found out already but Yes, DC announced that a Shadow Special would tie up loose ends from Helfer's series but that never saw light.
