Softcover. Seattle, Fantagraphics Books, 1st, 2012, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 188 pages illustrated in color and b&w. Out of the Shadows collects the best of Golden Age comics artist Mort Meskin's comic book stories from the '30s, '40s, and '50s. For decades Meskin's comics were relegated to the yellowing newsprint pages of collectors. Now finally Mort Meskin steps "out of the shadows." The variety of genres shows the breadth and versatility of Meskin's craft, from the noirish chiaroscuro of his crime work to the chiseled, gritty realism of his Westerns.
