Synopsis[]
Shadowman is a Valiant Universe character who was created in 1992 by writers Jim Shooter & Steve Englehart, and artists David Lapham & Bob Layton. He originally appeared in X-O Manowar #4 before Shadowman became its own series. The original series ended in 1995. Valiant was later bought out by Acclaim Comics, who rebooted the character in a 1997 Shadowman series by Garth Ennis. They also published a third volume titled Shadow Man in 1999 by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning. The rights to Shadowman later returned to Valiant Entertainment, who rebooted him again in 2012. This third incarnation of the character was written by Justin Jordan and Patrick Zircher in their Shadowman series.
