THE DARK MAN is David Strachan, the anti-hero featured in the THE SHADOWMASTERS novels, PART ONE - CORRUPTION and PART TWO - REDEMPTION, by PETER LANCETT.

As THE DARK MAN, Strachan now lives a solitary life in the poorer quarters of an undefined metropolitan city. Unable to come to terms with the loss of ASTRID, the great love of his life, he now helps to thwart the plans of the evil Shadowmasters who took her from him.

THE DARK MAN operates at night, opposing the disturbing powers that his mentor, an ancient alchemist known as THE OLD MAN, cannot openly face.

Always, the DARK MAN looks after the poor, the unfortunate. Always, he seeks to overturn injustice and defend the defenseless. Always, his aching-heart searches for his lost-love, ASTRID.

The award-winning illustrated DARK MAN books are published by Ransom Publishing, and by Saddleback in the United States.

Soon to be available as hard-edged adult-oriented comics and a graphic novel, written by PETER LANCETT and TERESA SCHAEFFER, THE DARK MAN is currently being developed for television by LANCETT and SCHAEFFER.
