Page "The Shadow" Paragraph 63

During the mid-1970s, DC Comics published an " atmospheric interpretation " of the character by writer Dennis O ' Neil and artist Michael Kaluta in a 12-issue series ( Nov. 1973-Sept. 1975 ).

Kaluta drew issues 1-4 and 6 and was followed by Frank Robbins and then E. R. Cruz.

Faithful to both the pulp-magazine and radio-drama character, the series guest-starred fellow pulp fiction hero The Avenger in issue # 11.

The Shadow also appeared in DC's Batman # 253 ( Nov. 1973 ), in which Batman teams with an aging Shadow and calls the famous crime fighter his " greatest inspiration ".

In Batman # 259 ( Dec. 1974 ), Batman again meets The Shadow, and we learn The Shadow saved Bruce Wayne's life when the future Batman was a boy.
