Nice group of Shadows Brian! I recently picked up my first one and it is really quite a nicely done series.

Watch out, you might become addicted to collecting them...

Sounds like a good problem to have.

Great lineup! Thanks for posting so many great examples; my favorites above. I wonder if the page rates at Street and Smith were higher than other publishers.

Individual stories in Street and Smith comics would get as high as about 25 pages long throughout their time publishing comics, with an occasional page count as high as about 40 early on, so I presume that one penciler who was assigned with one such story would get paid quite a bit.

Super-Magician covers which I haven’t seen listed as Charles Coll covers despite his signature being present:

[ThothAmon]

No doubt my favorite Shadow comic. Followed closely by Vol 4 #2. 
 

[Straw-Man]

not a shadow collector in general terms, but there are 3 arc stories/covers i dig.  they are all certified now, so here we go.

[Straw-Man]

[Straw-Man]

and thade.   wish there were more than 2 here, as i love them!

Here's a couple more I've picked up recently...the first one is kinda low grade, but I'm just happy to have it.  Both are Powell covers, despite what the OPG might say...

Here's a couple from my collection

[ThothAmon]

Just found this guy hiding out with some detectives. Really cool cover/colors and notice the Swastika one month before Pearl Harbor. 
 

[Marty Mann]

[Tri-Color Brian]

A few more I've picked up since my last post...These are all Powell covers.

 

[Robot Man]

Book for book, Shadow has some of the best covers of any GA run. Sure some stinkers but so many outstanding ones. Especially in that Powell run. Such an underrated artist.

[Robot Man]

Probably my last pickup for the year.

Nice stack of Super-Magician comics.
