Shadow Doctor is the true story of a prohibition era whiskey runner turned physician. That's it? There's gotta be a twist right? There is. He was black, in the 30's, and completely unable to be hired for legitimate medical work by 'respectable' institutions.
He worked for the mob, you say? I wonder if they'd need a qualified medical professional for any reason during that era?
Peter Calloway's script breaks the beats out in a well paced fashion, moving between multiple timelines with ease. The art by Georges Jeanty is looser than his work on Buffy or Serenity (maybe shot from pencils?). It is effective in multiple eras here, and its nice to see him again. The backmatter pages are mandatory in this one. Recommended.
