Try increasing the shadow blur radius in your light properties, see if that helps. Thank you, but that had zero effect. I suspected as much because this is a Comic Book Preview, not a Firefly or Superfly render.

I did find a workaround, I'm happy to say. I'm going to keep looking at other settings and see if I can do this without completely changing the source material, but for now, this is an excellent fix.

The ground is a high-resolution ground plane without a texture (that is to say, it has the default Poser material applied).

1. In the Material Room, I select the Ground Plane.
2. I then click on the button (far right) "Set up Toon Render."
3. It asks if I want a specular highlight: I said "No."
4. The render style of this one item is now set to Toon.
5. I change the DarkColor property to Black.

Now, when I render I get a nice, crisp shadow on the ground.

As I said, there are other properties to explore, so I'm going to look at them, too. But for now, this is a solid approacch with which I can work.
