I run.
Either The Shadow is after me and I'm buying myself a few more seconds of life or I'm about to be in a situation where The Shadow has to save me and fuck being in The Shadow's debt, that does not always end well.

>Early promotional image for what would have been Jim Steranko’s version of ‘The Shadow’. (1973)

>Steranko, like Alex Toth and Bernie Wrightson, was removed from the project early on, when he began to make demands that the script be closer to the original pulps. One can understand why this might have been a personal effort for him, as Steranko was close friends with Shadow creator Walter B. Gibson for most of his life, considering the prolific pulp writer something of a mentor.

>When the dust settled, DC opted for the creative team of writer Denny O’Neil and artist Michael W. Kaluta to relaunch the character in comic form. It would last just 12 issues, yet remains tremendously popular among die-hard Shadow aficionados.

There has been a new line of Doc Savage novels coming out the past few years - which NOBODY seems to know about which is a travesty - and they did a Shadow team up a year or two ago

So is this the radio Shadow or pulp Shadow? Because I'd probably enjoy a nice friendly chat with Lamo- I mean, the Shadow if it's the radio version but bail if it's the latter.

The crystal ball and cat featured on the last cover belonged to Walter Gibson

Gibson had been a stage magician, produced several tricks that are standards of magic now like the magic rings, and was the ghost writer for Harry Houdini and others. He hosted the Harry Houdini seances for many years in fact.

The background in magic was drawn upon regularly for The Shadows use of theatrics and slight of hand, disguises, and real magic props like a trick box he could hide in and flash powder on his hands

>Origina Shadow/Dominic Fortune painting by Howard Chaykin from Hulk magazine #25, published by Marvel Comics, February 1981.

Interesting that Chaykin had been toying with the idea long before he did that comic, did he pitch it to Marvel for him to enter their universe?

Ask him to come in for tea.

>>89647014 i hope someday will publish the follow-up to this storyline. The Chaykin and Helfer version of The Shadow is an underrated gem.
