The Nyctalope starts a revolution to overthrow a future dictatorship... And Fant mas finally meets his match... All this, plus Judex, Irene Adler, Doctor Jekyll, the Timeslip Troopers, the Sea Hawk and the ever-monstrous Skull Island

In this seventeenth volume of Tales of the Shadowmen, the only anthology dedicated to international heroes and villains of pulp literature, writers from England, France and the United States unite to pay homage to those great champions and master criminals who enchanted our adolescence.
