Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? Alison and Timothy discuss Walter Gibson, most famous as the author of The Shadow - a proto-superhero; subject of radio shows, pulp magazines, comics, movies, and multiple novels. A strange figure reportedly haunts the New York residence where Gibson wrote The Shadow stories. Is it a tulpa of The Shadow? Jon and Sam from Riverbend Comics stop by to discuss the character of The Shadow and its influence in comics and pulp culture. (Listen for details on a Shadow giveaway from Riverbend Comics and Strange Familiars!)
