An odd piece of Shadow history up for sale

Michael Kaluta and Dave Stevens... keeping the pulps alive!  I love the third panel.  Currently for sale at Heritage Auctions.

The Shadow "Black Rock" remake

Anyone who is interested in the radio program should give this modern remake a listen.

 I've listened to the original many times so it was fun to hear a familiar story with some updates to the overall production (sound effects, music, etc...)  Always great to "see" The Shadow make his presence known to the modern day audience.

It's the fourth Friday of the month...

...where's my "The Shadow Magazine" issue?!  (Come to think of it, where's my news stand!?!)

Fingers of Death is the answer

Didn't realize I had done this one before.  Oh, well, I've done them all before, haven't I.  Great cover from early in the series.  Love it!

Kinda Shadow related

I've been listening to a podcast for several years now but have never given it a shout out.  The Great Detectives of Old Time Radio is a really terrific program that covers many great otr series from the past.  If you want to spend some time 6 days a week with the likes of Rocky Jordan, Joe Friday or Mr. Keen then take a listen.  It brings a smile to my face for half an hour each day sitting in front of my computer and I think it'll bring a grin to yours, as well.

Okay, I'm giving it away

The Shadow by Brian Bysouth

I never knew who the artist was for this promo piece.  I may not have known but...well, The Shadow knew.

A new smokewagon clew

One of my favorite covers for you to solve.

Merdur by Magic

Okay, MURDER by Magic.  Great job, Agent J.  Youse got it right, again.

Trail of the Talon

Usually I love "hand" covers.  No such love for this odd addition to the covers of The Shadow.  Fun but ultimately not one of my favorite covers.

A new puzzle for you to consider

There are five (5) differences to this very un-Shadow-like cover.  Give it a try, eagle-eye!

Feeling a bit overwhelmed so....

I'll sit in the darkness and remember my mission...

or just toil away at my job and make the best of it.

What a way to start the day

A great cup of green tea in my favorite mug is the way to get the week going.

More Barretto goodness

Just gorgeous.  This was a great series.

It was 1943, after all

Our hero doing his patriotic duty to ensure that America wins the war.  I'm sure this cover and the many others with similar themes are offensive to a large portion of today's society but I choose to look at it as part of our history & helping to show how we have evolved to the point we are at now.  Don't take that to mean I think where we are at is any better than where we were 75 years ago.  It's just different.

Happy Independence Day

Have a safe and fun Fourth, agents.  Just remember why we are celebrating and the cost of our freedom.

Rasputin

Still love this storyline.  Addressing The Shadow's original attachment to Russia rather than the more popular Chinese arcs made me happy.  Think I'll pull these back out and reread this series.

Well done, Agent J
