Wow, that 1933 book looks so fresh! 

March 1st, 1942 -

with an old Shadow standard: cypher & code embedded in the pages -

... and a full-page ad for the S&S line-up of comics, hailed as non-lurid and twice as thrilling ... and, of course, none of these series are really sought after by and large today -

For reference, here are the Moylan Sisters, I had to look them up -

Talk about frustrating.  I have the original painting of the creeping death and five midgrade copies with the one below being the best.   I have yet to come across a VF/NM copy which is the condition that 99% of my run is comprised of.  I need to upgrade this one and the number one, and would pay any amount of money to do so!

Just picked up my second example of the ultra rare late 1930’s  Shadow Hypno-Coin sponsored by Blue Coal.

I was very fortunate to pick up this rare 1940 Shadow Cardboard a Advertising sign.  
 

Many of these advertising signs nearly one of a kind as most have been destroyed.

This one is 10 1/2” x 22” and is cardboard.

It is the only known example!

I now have 19 original Shadow advertising signs in the 1930s and 40s.

I will post a better picture when I get it properly framed etc.

Not "lurid"?  I beg to differ...

Since I got the first one years back, I guess it’s convinced me to collect the shadow!

Most of the 1940s covers are an anti-climax after the 1930s ones, but Rozen returned to greatness for this one!

Found at a local store yesterday.  Not really that fragile, as the seller marked it, just worn.  Supple pages:
