Dominic Fortune in “Slay Bells” in Hulk! 25 Feb 1981

 Story Denny O’Neil Art Howard Chaykin

Dom is still working for Ferdley’s Milk in the fifth and final adventure in Hulk Magazine where he is invited to meet the British Ambassador when he is accosted by The Silhouette who thinks that Fortune is an Irish assassin trying to kill the ambassador. 

The Silhouette is a less competent version of the Shadow and Dom really has no time for his nonsense.  The Silhouette’s real identity Lamar Canfield is hosting the party for the ambassador.  Sorry Canfield and his companion Margo Payne swear that he is not the Silhouette.

When Santa arrives with gifts for all the guests and kidnaps the ambassador.  Dom knocks out The Silhouette and rescues the ambassador.

It’s an interesting story seeing Dominic Fortune interacting with a version of the Shadow, a few years later Chaykin would do a Shadow miniseries for DC (1986) and another for Dynamite (2014).
