KNIGHT OF DARKNESS The Legend of the Shadow

This collection of articles and interviews is the companion volume to previous releases, Master of Mystery: The Rise of The Shadow. But here the emphasis is on The Shadow in other media: comic books and film. Includes two in-depth interviews with Shadow creator Walter B. Gibson, as well as an extensive conversation with Universal's Shadow screenwriter, David Koepp. Well-illustrated by Michael Kaluta (dozens of prelims and finished pieces, plus the full color back cover of the jacket), Frank Hamilton and Colton Worley. Chapters include The Mysterious Roots of the Shadow, The Shadow's Godfather, Radio Raconteur, Walter Gibson -- Comics Scripter, The Shadow's Long Lost TV Pilot, Scripting Universal's Shadow, Secrets of DC's Shadow and much more. The Shadow was among the first 20th century American characters to achieve multimedia status. From his murky radio origins through pulp magazines, comic books, comic strips, and on the Silver Screen, the Knight of Darkness has cast his indelible shadow over popular culture worldwide.
