In this case it's a triple novels issue as we begin the final stretch to finish out the epic run of reprints of the even more epic pulp run of The Shadow Magazine. I've been trying to read them in order of submission to try and get a sense of the flow of Gibson's progression of The Shadow. I've been stuck waiting on the 37th novel he wrote, "The Isle of Doubt", for quite some time now. Sure, I'd read a lot of the others before I hit on this OCD inspired order of reading. Up to now I've read 85 (including Return of The Shadow) of the adventures. With this issue I'll be able to fill the missing gap and then jump up to the "The Dark Death" and move along from there with only 14 tales that I've read out of order the rest of the way. This makes me happy.
