Valiant Masters: Shadowman Spotlights the Greats

Valiant is all about the masters. More specifically, highlighting them and making sure they get their due. Collections have a way of doing that and Valiant Masters: Shadowman Vol. 1 - Spirits Within is no exception. The first-ever deluxe hardcover collection brings together work from luminaries such as Steve Ditko, Steve Englehart, Bob Hall, David Lapham, Bob Layton, Jim Shooter and many more.

Jack Boniface nearly died one night – attacked by something out of a nightmare. But since that terrifying experience something has changed. Now, when darkness falls, a feeling comes over him, an urge to destroy the demons that would defile his night. Wild, reckless, and hell-bent on eliminating evil in all its forms, Jack is now his city’s new protector – the nocturnal avenger simply called Shadowman.

The work collects Shadowman #0-7 (1992) and material from Darque Passages #1 (1994). It also features appearances by X-O Manowar, Archer & Armstrong and more of the title Valiant characters. Readers will also get an exclusive look inside the Valiant Masters: 2013 FCBD Showcase Edition on May 4.
