In August 2011, Dynamite licensed "The Shadow" from Condé Nast for an ongoing comic book series and several limited run miniseries. Its first on-going series was written by Garth Ennis and illustrated by Aaron Campbell; it debuted on April 19, 2012. This series ran for 26 issues; the regular series ended in May 2014, but a prologue issue #0 was published in July 2014. Dynamite followed with the release of an eight-issue miniseries, "Masks", teaming the 1930s Shadow with Dynamite's other pulp hero comic book adaptations, the Spider, the Green Hornet and Kato, and a 1930s Zorro, plus four other heroes of the pulp era from Dynamite's comics lineup. Dynamite offered a 10-issue Shadow miniseries, "The Shadow: Year One", followed by the team-up five-issue miniseries, "The Shadow/Green Hornet: Dark Nights", and a Shadow six-issue miniseries set in the modern era, "The Shadow: Now". In August 2015, Dynamite Entertainment launched volume 2 of "The Shadow", a new ongoing series written by Cullen Bunn and drawn by Giovanni Timpano.
