Summary

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.
