90th Anniversary Special! - 'GANGDOM'S DOOM' and 'THE SHADOW STRIKES: GANGLAND DOOMED'

 



"Nick Savoli," said the sinister voice, "you have led a life of crime. While you were one of
many, you were ordinary. Now you believe yourself supreme. You are wrong. 
You are dangerous—that is all. 
You are mistaken when you believe that you are supreme."

"Is this a warning?" asked Savoli, with a grim smile. "Or is it a threat?"
"It is a judgment," said The Shadow sternly.

The Shadow turns 90 years old! 
The Shadowcast commemorates the event with dueling automatics ablaze! Twin crime tales set in
Chicago's Gangland!

First, it's the formative 1931 masterpiece, where The Shadow outwits an obvious stand-in for Al Capone and the Chicago Mob, 'GANGDOM'S DOOM'!

Then, The Shadow returns 4 years later, in comic book form, to deal with the fallout of Al Capone's fall in DC Comics' 'THE SHADOW STRIKES: GANGLAND DOOMED!'
