Shade, The Changing Man, begun in 1990, was a revival of the old
DC character created by Steve Ditko. Written by
Peter Milligan,
with pencils by Chris Bachalo, the series began, if anything, in a stronger fashion than did
Neil Gaiman's
The Sandman,
also a novel reinvention of an old DC character, though launched a year and a half prior.
