The Shadow
The
Shadow is a fictional character created by Walter B. Gibson
in 1931 with the first story title "The Living Shadow". The
character is one of the most famous of the pulp heroes of
the 1930s and 1940s -- made even more famous through a
popular radio series originally played by Orson Welles. The
Shadow is best regarded for its radio years, in which pulp
crime fiction received perhaps its most compelling broadcast
interpretation.
