This week we head back to a time before Marvel Comics, before Superman and Batman, to a world before superheroes, and bring you a history of The Shadow! Before Superman exploded onto the pages of Action Comics, the world of action-adventure was a very different place, full of detectives, gangsters, Science Fiction and the supernatural - the world of Pulp Fiction! In a world of Tarzan, Zorro and Conan The Barbarian, The Shadow emerged completely by accident and ended up becoming the world’s first superhero! We’ll track the tale from pulp magazines to radio adventures to cliffhanger movie serials and beyond!
