The Shadow, No. 5: The Black Falcon & The Salamanders

The legendary super-sleuth returns in two more pulp classics by Walter Gibson, writing as Maxwell Grant. In "The Black Falcon" (1934), Lamont Cranston is abducted by a kidnapper who unearths secrets from The Shadow's mysterious past. Then, the Knight of Darkness must defeat a Dragon of Fire before the city becomes a blazing inferno in an action-packed 1936 thriller titled "The Salamanders". This instant collector's item also features the original pulp covers by George Rozen, interior illustrations by Tom Lovell, and "The Island of Ancient Death," a bonus Shadow story adapted from the Mutual Broadcasting System radio program by scriptwriter Gibson Scott Fox.
