The issue carries the story title 'The Shadow of the Hawk' and picks up the thread of Paul Johnstone's ShadowHawk as a new vigilante with a pattern of racially slanted killings draws him back into action and into direct conflict with Vendetta's team of Regulators. Valentino handled the writing, cover art, and interior pencils, giving the book a singular authorial voice consistent across the page and the cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe second ShadowHawk series arrived as Image was still establishing itself, and Valentino's work on the character represented one of the more socially engaged corners of that early Image line. The direct-market edition is known for its die-cut embossed cover treatment, a production choice that set it apart from the standard newsstand release and that was common among premium early-90s Image books. At $3.50 cover price, it was among the higher-priced single issues of its era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"details\"\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharacters\u003c\/strong\u003e: Shadowhawk (Paul Johnstone), Vortex, Blackjak (Spence Hillman)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal MSRP\u003c\/strong\u003e: $3.50\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries Title\u003c\/strong\u003e: Shadowhawk, Vol. 2 (ShadowHawk II)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIssue\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCover Artist\u003c\/strong\u003e: Jim Valentino\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWriter\u003c\/strong\u003e: Jim Valentino\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist\u003c\/strong\u003e: Jim Valentino\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Image Comics\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Year\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1993\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStory Arc\u003c\/strong\u003e: The Shadow of the Hawk\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"disclaimer\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*PHOTO DISCLAIMER:\u003c\/strong\u003e All photos are of the actual items, unless marked as pre-order.
