*"ShadowHawk started out as yer basic grim'n'gritty anti-hero," says creator/writer/artist Jim Valentino. "But certain questions kept nagging me. Why would he, or anyone in their right mind do what he does? What was his rationale, his justification? I began to question the nature of heroism, what's too much? How far can one go before it's too far? I'm not sure I have any answers to these questions." He adds, "But I think the character has, at the very least, brought them to the table for further discussion." *Source: Back of Card
