Shadow Double Novel Annual Vol 1

Description

The Knight of Darkness crushes supercrime in thrilling pulp novels by Walter B. Gibson and Theodore Tinsley! First, concealed within an ancient mummy case, The Shadow smuggles himself into a criminal mastermind's 'Crime Crypt' using the same gimmick that Doctor Doom reprises in the 1950 Batman story, '1,001 Trophies of the Batcave.' Then, The Shadow battles 'The Green Terror,' a criminal whose use of scientifically induced fear preceded the Scarecrow's infamous modus operandi. Finally, in a classic radio script that foreshadowed Batman's landmark Ra's Al Ghul saga, Lamont Cranston dies so that The Shadow can go undercover to battle a super-villain who has discovered his secret identity in 'Can the Dead Talk?'
