MASTER OF MYSTERY RISE OF THE SHADOW
(W) WILL MURRAY (A) Graves Gladney (CA) Joe Devito
Who is The Shadow? How did he come to be? Between 1930 and 1954, The Shadow was a dominant figure in American popular culture. A multi-media sensation, he emerged from the creative cauldron of the earliest days of radio drama, and soon migrated to magazines, comic books, film and eventually paperback books. Only Superman and Batman, who were created a few years later, rivaled The Shadow in global public recognition. Popular culture historian and novelist WILL MURRAY explores radio's first superstar and talks to the writers and artists who took a nebulous radio personality and brought him to blazing life in the pages of more than 300 classic pulp novels.
