Reading Room THE SHADOW "The Shadow's Amazing New Weapons!"

We Have Already Seen...

You gotta admit, scripter Jerry Siegel does know how to recap a story!

Should I point out that a radioactive power source sitting near someone's genitals for hours at a time could render that person sterile?

Nah...

Reading Room THE SHADOW "The Shadow Battles...the Brute!

How so you stop a foe who's unaffected by your weapons or super-powers?

That's the question our campy cloaked crusader has to answer...before it's too late!

Since Shiwan Khan can't find worthy (aka people who won't turn against him) allies, he decides to go the "do it yourself" route and build one in this never-reprinted tale from Archie's The Shadow #7 (1965)!

Reading Room THE SHADOW "The Shadow vs The Shadow"

When Last We Left The Shadow...

I'm going to let writer Jerry Siegel fill you in on what's going on...with the minor point he leaves out that Lamont Cranston is presently a prisoner of the villainous descendants of Genghis Khan and Attila the Hun...

And the baddies get away...again!

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...
