Dead Man's Chest

One of the last pulps from the original run.  A return to the real Shadow.  Walter Gibson returns in an attempt to clear the bad taste of the Elliott novels from the publics mouths.  Even the cover signals to the reader that it's time to return to the character's roots.  This review tells us that it is a great tale, to boot.  Unfortunately the damage was done and there would only be three more issues of this, the greatest of the pulp characters.  An era was coming to a close.
