A very Shadowy Ramona Fradon commission

[greenjeans1978]

Forthcoming from Catskill Comics. They posted this pic to their Facebook earlier today.



I've been getting requests from inkers to do some of the Ramona Fradon stuff already in my collection. I think this commission will be the perfect one to turn inkers loose on, since there's so much room for interpretation here. What do you think?

I would say go for getting it inked, but only from a blueline copy. I'd hate to lose those pencils.

Oh, I plan on having any inks on blueline. I'd like to run this by several inkers, as I did with my Tom Grummett Superman some time back. But unlike Superman, where slick and clean is the best way to go, I think the Shadow lends himself to a greater variety of styles, given his pulp origins and the varying darkness of his numerous iterations.
