PRODUCT DESCRIPTION




THE SHADOW CRIME CLASSICS
40's COMIC STRIP COLLECTION


RARE and OUT OF PRINT COLLECTORS ITEM.
WALTER GIBSON

The Shadow is one of the most enduring fictional characters of the 20th century, first appearing as a radio drama in 1930. The phrase “Who Knows What Evil Lurks In The Hearts of Men?…The Shadow Knows!” is still so well known, it’s almost a cliche’. Following the success of the radio show, the character came alive on the printed page through the talent of Walter Gibson, who wrote hundreds of Shadow adventures under the pseudonym Maxwell Grant. Besides writing 282 pulp novels for The Shadow magazine, Gibson also plotted Shadow Comics for seven years and wrote newspaper strips as well.

This series, presents the original adventures from the 40s, complete and uncut, allowing modern readers to experience the stories as they were first envisioned.

The classic comic strip collected for the first time! COMPLETE AND UNCUT!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

"Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? Times Square, Easter Sunday, April 1941. Amid the bustle of the holiday crowd, a young woman runs for her life. It is a race that will lead from the heart of Manhattan, pulsing with vibrant life, through Hell's Kitchen to Lisbon -- final destination: Berlin, Nazi stronghold and center of dark intrigue. As hot gunfire from an alley behind a burly-"Q", a cab screeches toward a date with death. Auto chases, motorcycle escapes, and a fantastic battle between U-boat and autogiro over Coney Island! Heroes and villains dance like puppets on invisible strings, never knowing for certain if they be players... or pawns. Behind the action looms the spectral figure of the Shadow, master of men. What webs and toils unfurl from these mysterious gloved hands -- what lives hang balanced between the cold hollow laughter and the blazing .45s? Who is safe, who doomed? Only the Shadow knows."
