There was a great run of Shadows for sale and this one really caught my eye with the creepy cover. There is a printing defect where the staples tried to grab the cover; but not too distracting. Great interior too! The first Shadow story and cover illustration is a radio adaptation, lots of ads for the radio stories in this book. Calling @Straw-Man for the Bayou reference! Then we have Doc Savage, not a great splash was hoping for more from the Man of Bronze. Then yet another Shadow tale with another nice splash and unique logo. Finally this whack a doodle strip which really looks like a Shuster lift. I saw that. Congrats. Great book at a great price. He had many from the “sweet spot” in the run. Was going to go for a couple but forgot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my first in this series or Street and Smith for that matter. And while I’m here @Yellow Kid did you find these interior shots above?

Robot Man Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I really like the Powell covers in the volume 8 range. Lots of horror content inside as well. Adam had a good amount of them. I don’t have the one you got. Glad I forgot and didn’t run you up on it. 50YrsCollctngCmcs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found them, Frank, and the swamp scene sure reminded me of the 20 years I lived on the edge of the Honey Island Swamp in Slidell LA and could hear the big gators barking 50 yds. away as I went to sleep. Swamps are very eerie. Great cover! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted January 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2020 I always like to read the indicia on old books. The Shadow book is a pretty clear one and I thought I would Google the address. The building is still there and looks nicely restored. I can certainly see this building being home of the Shadow magazine back in the thirties. Just add a Fedora and walk out that door.

Popular Post Point Five Posted January 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 26, 2020 Thought I was long since done with Schomburg war covers, but couldn't resist this one! Except for the stain it's a lovely midgrade copy. RareHighGrade, pmpknface, gino2paulus2 and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
