Description

Vernon Greene First The Shadow Daily #A-1 Comic Strip Original Art (The Ledger Syndicate, c. 1938). "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!" Those words chilled radio audiences in the 1930s, as they listened to the exploits of "the mysterious Shadow, weird fighter against crime, who possessed the ability to cloud men's minds so they could not see him." A smash in the pulps, and a hit on the radio, the Shadow also had a brief run in the newspapers, starring in his own strip from 1938 through 1942. This daily, numbered A-1 is believed to be the very first episode of The Shadow comic strip. This landmark strip has an image area of 25" x 5.5" and the art is in Excellent condition.
