According to Will Murray (see "Interlude" in Volume 11 of the current reprints) March 6, 1931 saw "The Living Shadow" hit the streets of Depression-era America. Who'd have thought that March 6, 2011 would be in the throes of a similar economic turmoil. Is this a sign that The Shadow is once more needed? I would argue that he has always been needed and that what is lacking is that he is no longer heeded.
Anyhow, Happy Anniversary to that greatest of pulp heroes, The Shadow.
Let us raise a glass to that famed octogenerian who is a mere Shadow of his former self, and that's good enough for me! Cheers, and Happy Birthday!
