But while he was gone, his foes have remained vigilant, and the most dangerous man The Shadow has ever faced prepares to rise once more. It's the shocking beginning to a new era for The Shadow!"

"The Shadow Network is in tatters, Lamont Cranston lies near death, and Shiwan Khan is on the rise, but it's mistake to count out the Shadow!

It's the Shadow like you've never seen him before!"

"The Shadow is wounded, penniless and on the run. He's down, but he's not out. Khan's assassins move in for the kill, but the Shadow knows it's a mistake to count him out. Meanwhile, Khan's plans are further revealed as he makes new alliances in New York's underworld. The deadly battle begins as the greatest pulp hero and villain of all time make their plans and set their traps."

"Uneasy alliances abound as Khan, pursing his own dangerous endgame, places the assassination of the Shadow in Batu's hands. As Batu bristles under her grandfather's watchful eye, she forms a dangerous partnership with a local gang leader who claims to have the key to defeating the Shadow. Meanwhile, the Shadow draws both the Russian and Vietnamese mafias into his orbit, preparing to turn rivals into deadly enemies. Long-plotted schemes come to fruition as the Shadow moves to defeat his greatest enemy!"

"Now Bimonthly! The Shadow and Khan begin their endgames as a grudge match, 80 years in the making, enters its final stages.

Meanwhile, the Shadow's hastily-assembled network begins to show its weaknesses and Khan's granddaughter moves in for the kill. It's plot and counter-plot in the penultimate issue of the pulp showdown. "
