The Shadow #1 Volume 2 page 12

 

"Now I am the only living soul who possesses this knowledge."

The Sunday Comics: The Shadow "The Eyes of the Tiger!" pages 4 & 5

 And we come to the conclusion of the first issue of Archie Comics version of The Shadow.  

Saturday's random pulp cover: Doc Savage "The King Maker": June, 1934

I have absolutely no idea of what the story holds but this cover is about as perfect of a Doc Savage representation as I can think of.  Beautifully rendered image and the attitude of Clark is just on point.  Love this cover.

ON THE AIR: July 31 & August 2, 1939

 

Ep 37_In the Lair of Fu Manchu

The Shadow #1 Volume 2 page 7

 

"I heard that guy's some big-city crime-killing ghost!"

The Shadow #1 Volume 2 page 6

 

"Cheese it!"

The Sunday Comics: The Shadow "The Eyes of the Tiger!" pages 1, 2 & 3

 

Saturday's random pulp cover: Spicy Stories : December - January, 1933

 Some cheesecake for your summer Saturday.  Nicely done illustration even if it really illustrates nothing more than male fantasy.

ON THE AIR: July 26 & July 28, 1939

 

Ep 35_The Coughing Horror

 

  Ep 36 _In the Grip of Death

The Shadow #1 Volume 2

 Let's start a new series.  Dynamite's "The Shadow" Volume 2.

The Sunday Comics: The Shadow "The Shadow vs. The RXG Spymaster!!" pages 18, 19 & 20

 

Saturday's random pulp cover: Spicy Western Stories "Rider From Hell": March, 1937

 

All I can say about this cover is that the horse is really well painted.  Even ignoring the un-PC nature of the image, the composition is atrocious.

ON THE AIR: July 17 & July 19, 1939

 

Ep 33_Riddle of the White Peacock

"Not so fearsome once you've been unarmed, eh?

The Sunday Comics: The Shadow "The Shadow vs. The RXG Spymaster!!" pages 15, 16 & 17

 

Saturday's random pulp cover: Spicy Detective "The Next Murder": October, 1939

 Who is murdering who?  Did she kill the man in the foreground?  Is she just an innocent dame who picked up the dead man's gun before trying to call for help?  Is the dead man the detective or a gangster?  I guess we'll just have to dig up a nearly 86 year old copy and read "The Next Murder"by Robert A. Garron to find all of the answers.  Great cover by H. J. Ward.

ON THE AIR: July 17 & July 19, 1939

Saturday's random pulp cover: G-8 and His Battle Aces "Purple Aces": November, 1933

 

Slam Bang Action!  Death From Above!  Good vs Evil!  

  That was the name of the game with G-8 and his crew.  Berkley tried to bring these adventures to the masses in the 70s with some top tier art by Jim Steranko on three of the covers.  Alas, it didn't catch on.  I have to be honest, I've never read one the these stories so I can't tell you if they are any good, but the covers sure did promise some nail biting adventure.
