Saturday's random pulp cover: The Spider: "Slaves of the Dragon" May 1936

 

Typical cover for The Spider.  It may have been fun to have hinted at some scales to really push the "dragon" aspect, not just a green hand.  However, since I haven't read this (or any Spider, for that matter) I don't know if the villain has a green hand or not.  Want to know more about this issue?  Click on this link and see what Shadow super fan and all around good guy John Olsen has to say.

 Cairo.  El Kastab.  A mysterious man with a cage.  The curiosities of the Middle East and, eventually, Central Africa.  Take an exotic journey with Lamont and Margot and see if The Shadow can solve the case of  "The Thing in the Cage".

ON THE AIR: February 1, 1948


 Double cross.  Breaking the 10th Commandment.  Revenge.  Mix it all together and you get "One Dead and Two to Go".  Join that odd threesome, Lamont/Margot/The Shadow for another tale of the muck that is the human condition.

Saturday's random pulp cover: Strange Romances: "Too Young to Love" April 1939

Is that the serpent from the Garden of Eden?  Beautifully painted portrait, regardless of whether she represents Eve or not.
