YOU CAN'T KEEP A DEAD MAN DOWN
Paul Johnstone returns to the helmet in SHADOWHAWK #1!

Berkeley, CA - 8 March 2010 - Paul Johnstone may have died, but not only is he better now, he's resumed the mantle of ShadowHawk in SHADOWHAWK, an all-new series arising from the pages of IMAGE UNITED written by DAN WICKLINE with art by TONE RODRIGUEZ.

"The return of the original SHADOWHAWK, Paul Johnstone, is electrifying. Dan and Tone have RESURRECTED the character of SHADOWHAWK, both literally and figuratively in a manner that, to the best of my knowledge, has never been done before," says Shadowline Publisher Jim Valentino. "Paul Johnstone is back to kick butt and take names."

SHADOWHAWK takes place 15 years after Paul Johnstone's stunning death and though he wears the ShadowHawk helmet once more, New York is a far more dangerous place than he remembers. A new evil festers in the city's shadows, but before Johnstone can deal with the ramifications of returning to life, he must first confront his past.

SHADOWHAWK #1 (MAR100390), a 32-page full color comic book for $3.50, will be in stores May 5, 2010.
