Remembering Writer And Artist Frank Robbins

Remembering writer/artist Frank Robbins on his birthday (September 9, 1917 - November 28, 1994).  

Likely better remembered as an comic strip writer/artist for things like aviation strip Scorchy Smith and his own adventure strip Johnny Hazard, as well as writing Superboy and Batman/Detective Comics (where he co-created, among others, Man-Bat), his wonderfully moody art enhanced the DC comics adaptation of the Shadow in the 1970s, where he did the following covers.

The Shadow #5 and #7, (June-July and October-November, 1974)

The Shadow #8, (December-January, 1974/1975)
