Thanks to Fresh Monkey Fiction Longbox Heroes I can finally take the picture I wanted. Kenner The Shadow vs Longbox Heroes Grendel.
Sparks fly and bullets blaze when the original Grendel, Hunter Rose, is transported to 1930s New York and faces off with the original dark-night avenger, the Shadow! Two pulp-noir icons go head to head in a thrilling story written and drawn by legendary Grendel creator Matt Wagner.
Grendel vs The Shadow channels the energy and swinging jazz of the 1930s, but pulls no punches as the criminal underworld is caught between two powerhouse personalities! (Goodreads)

I loved crossovers and growing up I read and listen to plenty of The Shadow, so when this issue came out I was happy. Now many years later I can finally have fun and take pics with action figures.
Grendel Hunter Rose succeeded at everything he ever tried, becoming a master fencer and famous writer. He started a criminal empire to sate his need for excitement, and became known as Grendel, the master crime lord and assassin of his age. His nemesis is Argent the wolf. Over the following centuries, many others followed in his footsteps and became new incarnations of Grendel.
"Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!" So, with a mocking laugh, says Kent Allard/Lamont Cranston, the mysterious vigilante of pulp magazine legend known as The Shadow.
