Single Issue Magazine. Condizione: Very Good Plus. First Edition. Very Good. New York: Street & Smith, 1940. First Edition. The Shadow # 203 / August 1, 1940 / Vol XXXIV, No.5. Cover illustration by Graves Gladney. Illustrated wraps, 9 1/4" x 6 5/8", 114 pp. Some roughening and loss at bottom of spine, else remarkably sharp for this publication, Very Good Plus with only moderate, even age toning to the still-supple pages and almost no cover wear. Handsome. See scans. A very scarce true original Street & Smith pulp edition of the timeless crime-fighter's series. In this issue, Maxwell Grant (Walter B. Gibson) offers "Crime at Seven Oaks", a "complete Shadow novel". Grant Lane contributes "The Kid and the Bambino", and on-theme short, and Henry Lysing again authors "Codes", a piece for ciphering hobbyists, in which money can allegedly be won for one's codes. Other Shadow features are "The Shadow Club", "Highlights on The Shadow", and "Theaters Showing the Shadow". Graves Gladney classic cover artwork has the Shadow, in red-lined cloak and brandishing a .45 automatic, restraining, by the collar, an enraged mastiff clearly ready to assail the bad guys. Walter B. Gibson, a professional magician, was hired rather quickly by Street & Smith to pen the theme stories for this famed periodical, primarily because its public was demanding it before it existed. "The Shadow", a now-classic "dark" hero who employed the tactics and reflected the moods of his sinister criminal foes, was in fact originally only an announcer for "Detective Stories", a radio show intended to promote sales of the pulp magazine of the same name (also by Street & Smith). This announcer - The Shadow (played initially by James LaCurto, then by Frank Readick) - commanded such fanship that a popular demand arose for "his magazine". S&S was therefore constrained to, as quickly as possible, create it. The rest is history. Very scarce, particularly in this condition, and of course an American pulp and genre classic. See scans.
