In Garth Ennis' interesting run on the Shadow's newest comicbook version, he's decided to combine the vigilante action of his Punisher Max run with his interest in World War Two history, with a story based in pre-WWII Japan occupied China dealing with a Chinese superweapon the Imperial Japanese army are trying to grab before the British, Americans, Soviets and Nazis...
It's interesting, as like his previous South East Asian set story in the Battlefields series 'Dear Billy...' he goes into a lot of detail in that period of history in that part of the world, which is often bypassed in place of yet more stories about Nazis.
Anyways, a facet of the Shadow's character that sets him apart from, say, Batman and the Punisher, is that he used to be a thoroughly bad person before seeing the error of his ways and becoming a vigilante. And not in a morally ambiguous pre-Iron Man Tony Stark kind of way either.
Here, in this preview, two Imperial Japanese Intelligence officers, one of whom used to be a gangster in this area of China post-WWI, are meeting with their informant, who also used to be involved in the underworld during that time, about a mysterious American that took up residence in the city some twenty years ago...
