Vol 1: July 1977 – September 1978
Steve Ditko returned to mainstream comics with “Shade, the changing Man.” Joined by co-writer Michael Fliesher, Ditko unveiled the story of Rac Shade, a secret agent – turned – fugitive from the extra-dimensional world of Meta. Framed for treason and sentenced to death, Shade stole a Miraco-Vest to escape from Meta to Earth and clear his name. All the while he was hunted by Meta’s authorities, as well as by his former lover Mellu Loron, the daughter of Meta’s dictator. Shade ran for 8 issues before falling to market forces as part of the DC Implosion.

Vol 2: July 1990 – April 1996
Shade must convince someone of his true identity before people from his home dimension can unleash madness across America. But the only one he’s convinced so far is the daughter of a serial killer’s victim–the same condemned killer he now inhabits.
