Great news for fans of the amazing Hugo Pratt:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_Pratt

A new French edition of one of his lesser known Italian action heroes L'Ombra (The Shadow) is on release through all the usual outlets.

He's a hero much in the Phantom vein (even wears a remarkably similar costume) but with antagonists who are completely off-the-wall in the Italian 60s style

Oh yes, great stuff. I've had the French version for a long time, and still go back to it occasionally. I hope It's a succes - it should be.

There is one collection translated into English. It runs 220 pages so a good collection. The name on the English version is the Shade.
