The Shadow tests his mind and mettle against his first proper supervillain, 

in 1932's underrated and seminal pulp adventure, 'THE BLACK MASTER'!

"Not since Sherlock Holmes locked wits with Professor Moriarty have there been

such formidable opponents on the battlefield of crime!", raves the back cover

of the Pyramid reprint of this classic story. 

The Shadowcast enthusiastically agrees.

and a demented psychiatrist, plundering patients, and ultimately murdering them

in the recently-recovered 1947 Radio episode 'Séance of Death!'
