  1. 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.

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

  3. 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.

  4. . . . 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.
