All-Time Shadow thread... 0

[Tri-Color Brian]

I have wanted this book since 1993.  I consider it the grail of the Powell Shadow covers.  Well, last week I outbid a bunch of poor souls on ebay and now it's in my grubby hands.    So, I'm so happy I probably don't need to buy another book for the rest of the year.  Feel free to show your Shadows in this thread if you want.  Have a nice day.

Congrats.  A book truly worthy of the TCB pedigree!

Gorgeous! Congrats!

There are so many classic covers in this series if you take the time to dig for them. Here's my V8 #2 with a Powell cover, and I feel much the same about it.

Very nice.  V8#2 was the 2nd Powell Shadow that I bought, maybe 10 years ago.  From then on, when I could find decent copies I liked I picked them up.  I have 11 of them now, with 3 to go.  I think they are under appreciated...

Powell gets my vote as the most underrated GA artist.

Nice!  I don't have many from the run,  but it was love at first sight on this one that I'd have to call my favorite, don't know who the cover artist is though.

Unfortunately, these don't have any cool skulls on the cover.

Glad you finally got a nice one. Looks purty. I was eyeballing it as an upgrade but know it meant a lot more to you than me. 

So many iconic Shadow covers (especially the Powell ones).

We should just turn this into the all-time Shadow thread...Here's a few more of mine:

V7 #6 was a purchase from Metro a few years ago, and they really screwed up...they Under-graded the book...

That 2nd one is a Powell cover also, and the last issue of the series.
