"The Blackest Mail"


 'Mysterious handwriting on a wall, a lady with a toy boat and a man with a kite -- all clues to a dramatic, cunning plot which finds The Shadow in Hollywood fighting the macabre machinations of a ruthless killer.' - The Shadow Wiki 

I'm not sure I can even comment on these "adventures".  Bad art.  The Shadow begins his gradual disappearance from his own magazine with this one.  He's in it but not as the same character we have come to know.  This and the next 14 issues are Lamont Cranston mysteries. According to John Olsen this ain't a bad mystery novel if you aren't looking for a Shadow tale.
