The Shadow app for iPhone and iPad is a tribute to the original Knight of Darkness, The Shadow. Arguably the most popular pulp character of all time, The Shadow not only ruled the newsstands starting in the early 1930's but went on to dominate the airwaves as well in his own radio drama which debuted in 1937. The character was one of the primary inspirations for Batman and remained popular for almost two decades, until his final pulp adventure was published in 1949.Showcasing the spectacular artwork from all 325 covers of The Shadow pulp magazine (published from 1931 to 1949 by Street & Smith Publications), The Shadow app is a feast for the eyes, a nostalgic look back at a bygone era when pulps were king and The Shadow was the reigning scourge of evil-doers everywhere.Featuring the Game: Shiwan Khan's Death Trap: Can you avoid being blown to bits by The Shadow's greatest nemesis?
