So what are your favorite shadow media (pulps, comics, radio, etc)?

My favorites aren't really a mystery. It's generally listed in my bio / intro post / whatever tf shows up first and that ✨️ recommendations post ✨️

The og pulp magazine run is my main Shadow medium. It's where The Shadow's actual character was created and it's the reason I prefer the pulp. He is literally described as creature, a force of nature. The father of horror and heroes. Just a living black mass, descibed as a living dark tornado. It makes hell noises, it chirps with differing vibrations that pops nerves. A human head with eyes in some descriptions actually creates illumination.

Another big reason is its writing format. This shit actually has me reading. I hate reading. Still very much do that has not changed. This is the one exception because its format is more suited to my needs. Shorter stories + perfect length chapters while having just the right amount of content to not have your brain completely swamped.

The Shadow 1994 was my introduction so there will forever be a bias regardless of quality. Why i love this movie could be it's own post entirely so I'm gonna keep it simple

look at this thing.

Like seriously what is that why is it funny.

I love it more after reading pulps because of the written whiplash you get. Like its the most teenage fanfic shit ever and it's incredible. Very imperfect, does a lot of things wrong, a little cringe but still a fun movie that's ahead of its time. The comic adaptation is also really good (and actually better lmao.)

To be old man yelling at cloud I've not looked too much into comics, at least after 1994. Ignorance / Just too focused on the two things above. In The Coils of Leviathan is my favorite I guess "modern" comic. To quote from my recommends it's the closest thing to newer pulp story down to The Shadow character and story structuring (Shads not being a central figure, him being generally silent until the end where he explains his findings, supernatural fronts etc.) Absolutely incredible artwork, moments that will leave you in awe, a sinister monster, and The Shadow being a mythical badass.

Death of Margo Lane is my favorite modern modern comic that I've read so far. The best portrayal of him going mental that isn't stupid. Matt Wagners art is also really good. Probably my favorite current Shadow artist.

Punching Nazis and Klansmen will get you into heaven.

Happy incoming fall of the Umreekan Empire!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.
