The Shadow - the Animated Series!?!

Apparently, around the time the 1992 movie with Alec Baldwin hit theaters, there was a demo reel done for an animated The Shadow cartoon series. Personally, even at such poor quality, I feel this was a wasted opportunity. How fantastic would that have been? Ah, well. What could have been.





If anyone knows where there are better quality versions of these videos, please, please, please let me know!

Random Pulp Art

Some random covers from the Golden Age of pulp! Enjoy!

The Green Lama!

Not to be confused with the Blue Iguana, the Green Lama is a lesser-known superhero and pulp adventurer from the 1940's. Amazingly enough, the character was a practicing Buddhist!

The Green Lama was popular enough to appear in pulps, comics and even a short-lived radio program featuring the great Paul Frees.

He has experienced a bit of a resurgence lately being resurrected for Dynamite Comics by Alex Ross.

For more adventures of the Green Lama, check out these radio episodes found at the Internet Archive, and a few other links below. I think you'll find them entertaining!

• Apparently, the Green Lama is rampant via social media websites: MySpace & Facebook. Oh, and Facebook again.
• Green Lama merchandise at DarkHorse.com.
• Wikipedia entry.
• Go green with these Green Lama items at Cafepress. Me? I want the wall calendar.

The Spider!

Harry Steeger created the pulp character The Spider in 1933 and the character punched, clawed and fought with .45's blazing through the '30's and '40's pulps like worms through a rotten apple. In many of those stories (written by the intensely talented Norvell Page), that rotten apple was New York. And in 1938, as the Nazi's were storming through Europe, The Spider fought his own battle against the Nazi allegory in the pages of his own pulp magazine.
Now, Age of Aces Books is releasing the collected three-story anthology, titled Fight The Empire State. There's even a nifty little website to promote the book.
I've only read a couple of these pulps but I'm completely hooked already. I love characters like this and the old pulps in particular. If you're interested in learning more about the pulp era or The Spider in particular, check the links below. You won't be disappointed.
