The Shadow November 1932: Pulp Magazine

4/5 ( ratings)

How The Shadow Came into Being:
Before his fame in the pulps and on the radio, The Shadow was actually created as a protector of Wall Street. He made his first appearance in the February 1929 issue of Fame and Fortune. The story was called "The Shadow of Wall Street", and George C. Jenks was the author . Compton Moore was The Shadow's alter ego. Instead of thugs and crime lords, the bad guys were the unethical businessmen of Wall Street. The mocking laugh and The Shadow's legendary stealth were first introduced in this story.
Street and Smith Publications Inc. produced magazines that featured popular fictional stories for the masses. To promote one of their publications, Detective Story Magazine, they turned to a new medium: radio. The stories from their magazine were adapted to radio format and was narrated by a character called "The Shadow". The Shadow caught on with listeners, who repeatedly asked Street and Smith where they could find magazines featuring this now popular narrator. In response, Street and Smith hired a young writer named Walter B. Gibson to give the character life. Readers could not get enough of The Shadow's thrilling adventures, and the pulp series lasted for 18 years.
