In
1973, DC Comics secured the comic book rights to The Shadow, the pulp
magazine and radio star of the 1930s and 1940s. Around the same time as
his series debuted, DC had The Shadow meet up with Batman. In the story,
we learned that The Shadow had been an early inspiration to Bats. They
teamed up once more before DC gave up their Shadow license, thus
preventing the stories from being reprinted. But for those of us lucky
enough to hold on to the originals, we can still thrill to the vigilante
who was even scarier (and nuttier) than Batman.
