Saturday's random pulp cover: Doc Savage Magazine "The Monsters"


 Great depiction of Doc in the grip of a "monstrous" hand.  This appeals to my affinity for the great "hand" paintings that graced so many of The Shadow Magazine covers.

ON THE AIR: November 23, 1947


 A killer is using a comic strip as inspiration to inflict terror on the populace.  Is it the doctor who invented the actual poison?  Is it the handyman who is the model for the comic character Hypo?  Or is it someone else?  And how is the poison administered, leaving no mark?  I guess the clue is in the characters name.  Tune in and see how comics have become a corrupting influence and should be stamped... heh.  Just take a listen and thrill to another adventure of The Shadow... "The Comic Strip Killer".
