Scrooge Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Just scored this issue of the Shadow. Always thought it had a Detective #31 flair to it. Great cover! I'm unfamiliar with Shadow interiors would you mind posting a few pics? Thanks. No Street & Smith available on DCM. I want to say "no S&S available anymore" as I seem to recall they were available at one time. I assume that S&S successors (Conde Nast I assume for the Shadow) asked for them to be taken down. I might be wrong and it doesn't matter anyway. The interior of the early Shadow books were rough, GA rough. In the later period, once Bob Powell comes on board, the interiors improve so for once, it's a case of the later the better (unlike many GA runs). Powell also did interior illos for the late day Shadow Magazine, the pulp and also IIRC the digest-size later issues. Anyone can correct me, I am just going by memory.

PUNYHUMAN Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Crude art , but I like it. That artist could give Fletcher Hanks a run for his money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricksneatstuff Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) Not the greatest copy in the world(not awful), but at least, after 2 years of missing out on them, I have one now (that is my relief emoticon- I can sleep now) Now, which book is going to have to leave the signature line?

gino2paulus2 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Love the Jo-Jo and the Fantastic Worlds gentlemen!! Is this the title that a fellow boardie got his comic shop name from?? Excited to add this one thanks to fellow boardie!! Here are a few of the interior splashes as well as I cant seem to locate a copy of this in any of the public domain sites (at least that I frequent) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUNYHUMAN Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 That comic just screams Golden Age. BTW, Raymond Miller was a big name fan back in the 60's . They say his collection was pretty awesome. He used to write for fanzines.He grew up in the Golden Age period. I think I remember reading that he was born in 1930. He may still be alive. He lived in Pennsylvania.
