Description
Well...I think this one is probably going to make some people happy (or at least I hope so!), as much as it made me whilst creating it. Since I began illustrating The Shadow, I've been slowly adding more and more stuff to these pieces and I've become comfortable enough with the character so as to even have other characters around him (The Rocketeer being the first one: [link] ). So, now I've taken things a step further and added a legend some of my watchers mentioned as another one that HAD to be brought into my depictions of The Shadow's adventures... The Phantom.
I was always very fond of Lee Falk's creation, mainly because it was a very good mix of the old pulp style and the superhero genre that was to come; The Phantom was actually one of the first (if not THE first) to have the -now classic- eyes of his mask without pupils (amongst other things).
This depiction also marks my first full-coloured work involving these characters, because I just had to take advantage of the jungle environment and The Phantom's costume.
So, continuing from the last image I brought you all in this wild crossover set in WWII, I present you this one, which I hope (as I said above) you'll enjoy as you did the previous.
Let me know what you think!
Nic.-

Hee-hee!Β This would be one of those situations where everyone sits down and has a nice, calm talk AFTER they've tried to pound each other into the jungle ooze.Β Sometimes it is a disadvantage to have super-keen senses and twitchy reflexes.Β
Probably in mid-battle a large leopard would break things up...

Oh dear, I have a feeling this first meeting with The Phantom, The Shadow and The Rocketeer will be messy LOL. But anyways, this is a very epic scene you've created here. I love the storytelling here and everything here.

Thank you so much, m'lady! I reckon I could update this trio with a new image down the road showing what happened after this shot; but messy is indeed an apt word to describe it

You're very welcome, my good sir. That would be quite interesting to see: the awesome meeting with these legendary heroes...after the messiness subsides LOL.

Lamont is hiking through a thick jungle with a black coat and cape, and Cliff is lugging a heavy metal contraption around with his leather jacket and hand-made helmet.
Even being who they are, all I can say is...yeah, right.
Still a cool picture, though, don't get me wrong! I love pulp heroes.

The Phantom is probably wondering who these weirdo are and why are they in his jungle. Good luck with sneaking up on the Shadow, Phantom! He can sense your presence... He can probably also sense that you're a good guy so it's likely he won't shoot you.
Nice work! Two thumbs up!

Just when poor ol' Cliff thought it couldn't get any scarier, with The Shadow as a companion...he now has to face a Ghost that Walks.
I love your style. Very angular, very straight, and still very expressive.

This is a great piece of work, don't get me wrongs, and I do see the whole "he thinks they're bad guys but they're not", but if you would do a picture of all three of these guys fighting nazis then that would be awesome.

I'd actually love to do more illustrations featuring these guys, but sadly I don't have the time right now. As soon as I can revisit the concept, I'll certainly pitch them all against the FΓΌhrer's war machine

My dad loves the Phantom, and I've loved the Rocketeer since forever, and of course the inspiration for Batman, the Shadow. Awesome.

haha, characters from times of my childhood
this piece brings so much of happy memories
i think Phantom was actually first superhero comic I've readed.Β
Here in Russia we had like 2 issues about him translated and sold more or less officially.Β
Anyway, to the point, great choice of characters, and very fun idea of crossover. Lets hope you will draw more of it once

Great image! My mom tells me about how she listened to "The Shadow" when she was a little girl, and I grew up reading "The Phantom" comic almost every day. Bringing them together with the Rocketeer makes you wonder what comes next.

It has been too long it would be great for you to return to The Phantom once again, because in my opinion no one draws him as well as you do, I don't know what it is. It is obvious from all of the responses that there may be some who agree.
