(Same in spades for the impossibly rare early pb SHADOW AND THE VOICE OF MURDER, which in any case was heavily abridged.) Girasol also did some full count reprints of early SHADOW magazines a decade or so ago, but those were removed from the market (and in any case I think all or almost all of them contained novels otherwise reprinted).<br /><br />Most of the so-far-unreprinted SHADOW novels are from the latter part of the run. I count only ten of the first one hundred magazine novels never yet reprinted: #29, 40-41, 63, 66, 69, 85, 89, 93, 96<br /><br />Might be more than you really wanted to know....<br /><br />Denny Lien, collector and neurotic list-makerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705940625481143611.post-28118897091028018272014-11-15T10:57:50.195-08:002014-11-15T10:57:50.195-08:00Wow!

As I am "between books" and scrounging around for something old and different to spice up my reading, your posting about the intriguing story comes just in time -- but WAIT ... Damn!<br /><br />Well, if the title you feature isn't available, at least I can dig through my Black Masks and my other old pulp collections for something similar. Perhaps another Walter Gibson tale lurks in the shadows of my bookshelves. <br /><br />BTW -- I stumbled into your blog via Pattinase, and I will be back!
