Reading Room THE SHADOW "Captive of Terror Island!"

We Have Just Witnessed...

To give him his due, writer Jerry Siegel does synopize extremely well!

So, now that you're caught up, let's continue...

Yukal Torrg seems to be "inspired" by Cato, Inspector Jacques Clouseau's servant in the Pink Panther films, who was also instructed to attack him when he was least-expecting it.

(Though he didn't hate Clouseau.
It was just part of his job, which he performed with extreme enthusiasm.)

Reading Room THE SHADOW "Incredible Alliance of Shiwan Khan and Attila the Hunter!"

The Shadow's greatest arch-enemy (he does have several) is...

...the direct descendant of the legendary Genghis Khan.

So what happens when another legendary conquerer's offspring...with his own world-ruling desires...teams-up with Khan?

"Who else would have a room like that?"

Offhand, there's a professor running a school for "gifted students" just north of NYC...

Reading Room THE SHADOW "Doom Stalks The Shadow!"

When Last We Saw He Who Knows What Evil...

...well, writer Jerry (Superman) Siegel will explain the plot from the never-reprinted Archie's The Shadow #5 (1965) better than I could...

For a guy who constantly ominously-intones "The Weed of Crime Bears Bitter Fruit! Crimes Does Not Pay!", it seems like a lot of his enemies tend to get away with it, or at least get away!

Speaking of getaways...

Get away to...

Crime and Punishment

...tomorrow for another never-reprinted Shadow tale, this time set in the 1940s!

Reading Room THE SHADOW "Menace of Radiation Rogue!"

He Who Knows What Evil goes into sci-fi territory with a new villain...

...who kills with atomic radiation!

TOMORROW!

This never-reprinted tale from Archie's The Shadow #5 (1965) by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Paul Reinman introduces another of what the publishers hoped would be an ongoing gallery of colorful villains to battle our hero.
Oddly, except for Shiwan Khan, (who appeared four times in the pulps and five times in the 1940s comics), none of the Shadow's multiple-appearance enemies from the Golden Age were utilized in the Archie series!
