Description

Who's the black private dick that's a sex machine with all the chicks? Shaft! Created by author Ernest Tidyman, and made famous in a series of novels and films, iconic hero Shaft makes his comic book debut in an all-new adventure. He's gone toe-to-toe with organized crime bosses, stood up to the cops, squared off against kidnappers, and foiled assassination attempts. But who was John Shaft before he became the hardboiled investigator with a reputation as big as New York City itself?

Writer David Walker, one of today's foremost authorities on African American cinema, commemorates his first-ever story set in the official SHAFT continuity, by joining Dynamite's Silver Elite Signature series. Enjoy the celebrated writer and journalist's signature on the rare Dennis Cowan 'Virgin Art' edition.
