Main Enterprises' Pulp Fan #7 is dedicated to Walter B. Gibson's The Shadow, aka Lamont Cranston, a crusading mystic who dominated radio, film and periodicals for decades, making his "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows" one of the most mimicked declarations in popular culture.
For this spectacular, Shadow salute, publisher Jim Main (in conjunction with the artistic eye of layout specialist, Bob Sodaro) gives an affluent intro per "The Publisher Speaks", thus priming readers for #7's articles: Will Murray's "The Shadow's Mercy", which details the character's evolution; Dennis Kininger's "They Knew What Evil Lurked in the Hearts of Men", which covers The Shadow's surreptitious agents; and Michael F. Housel's "George Jerome Rozen, Shadow Master", which essays the life and imagery of The Shadow's most prolific, cover artist.
When it comes to artwork, Pulp Fan #7 also flaunts creations by Tom Lovell, Vernon Greene, Paul Orban, Edd Cartier, Phil Latter, Kevin Dale Duncan and a gallery's worth by Frank Hamilton. The vibrant cover springs from Tim Faurote and the sensational inside-cover from John Lambert. Striking beauties through and through!
For any Shadow fan, Pulp Fan #7 is an essential, so be wise and purchase it while supplies last.
