I had #7, where an actor/director/producer named Grover Mills creates a radio series based on the Shadow. At the end, Mills gets the idea to do a radio play about an invasion from Mars.
I bought and read these as they came out and enjoyed them quite a bit. My memory is distressingly weak on details but I recall appreciating this take on the Shadow as being both more mysterious and more ruthless than I expected to see in comics format.

Yep, and all this time we've been giving the credit to Orson Welles.

. . . and they made the history and politics of the time part of the story, making the plots more interesting than plain old Crime Does Not Pay.
