ShadowHawk (2nd Series)

ShadowHawk is the fast-paced series about a mysterious vigilante who leaves a trail of broken backs in the name of justice. The great question of the first ShadowHawk series was, “Who is ShadowHawk?” Creator Jim Valentino even held a contest in the letters column of that first series for the first person to correctly guess (and document) ShadowHawk’s secret identity. To everyone’s chagrin, however, he never revealed the answer—until now.

As it turned out, ShadowHawk is ex-district attorney Paul Johnstone. Paul went mad as he saw criminal after criminal set free on technicalities, and took to the streets to administer law in a way the legal system can’t. Obviously, he never believed in capital punishment, because he never kills; but the punishment he administers is often just as effective.
