I've got the Samnee cover for my #10. I'm still missing #9 to complete this run. It seems to be pretty difficult to get hold of in the UK for some reason.

I realize he’s busy with Mage III, but if I was Dynamite, I’d let Matt Wagner do anything he wanted with the Shadow.

I realize he’s busy with Mage III, but if I was Dynamite, I’d let Matt Wagner do anything he wanted with the Shadow.

I wouldn't quite go that far.

I wasn't 100% thrilled with Wagner's The Spirit 12-issue run recently.
(Didn't understand why it was desired/necessary for some of the changes, like the political career for Ellen back then, and also felt the pacing of it was too s--l--o--w.)
