DC Comics Group published The Shadow Comic Book from 1973 to 1975. This series has a very special meaning to me because of my father's love of The Shadow old time Radio Show and The Shadow Pulp Magazines from the 1930s. Also includes an episode of The Shadow Old Time Radio Broadcast. Here are the summaries of the issues in this comic book collection:
