Ooh, a whole thread dedicated to Shadow pulps!  Put your seat-belts on!

[OtherEric]

Not the actual pulp issues, but I've got a digest and a BLB already scanned I can post before the rest of the real experts start showing off:

My only Shadow pulp.  Painting reused on the Shadow Annual.  After 15 years, I have all of the Shadow pulp reprints from Anthony Tollin.

Mine, ordered chronologically (as best as can be done with the format). Fiercely guarded by Usagi, the UY trades are shelved above the Shadows -

To keep with the spirit of the thread though -

I remembered it being a good one (I was lucky for it to be one of the first ones I've read) and John Olsen gave it a 5 .45 automatics rating as a confirmation. It also introduces a lot of new recurring characters to the series.

Stunning condition. Must have been stored in a vault.

[Ricksneatstuff]

My only Shadow currently. Hopefully more to come.

Cool topic. I want to check out the older Shadow comics. I only have a few of the newer ones and the knife prop from the movie.

Also garnered a 5 star review by Olsen. My records show I have read it also but it did not leave as much of an impression as The Chinese Disks did, probably due to the setting which bears less interest … though zombie!

Origin Issue!

The only known example and one of my favourite Shadow Advertising Signs.  I have 18 vintage Shadow advertising signs from the 1930s and 40s.  

This advertising sign was used on the back cover of Martin Grams extensive and outstanding book on The History of The Shadow Radio Show.

This is large 16”x 24” silkscreen Sign (circa. 1837-38).  Blue Coal sponsored “The Shadow” radio shows during this season and many others

*Remember most of the standard window card signs were 11 1/2” x 14 1/2”.*
