THE SHADOW "Night of the Mummy!" Conclusion

We Have Already Seen...

...is an ancient Mayan mummy murdering members of a scientific expedition which found and opened the pyramid where it rested for centuries?

It appears so.
But appearances are usually deceiving...especially when gangsters are also involved in the matter...

Note: though the radio show, the 1940 movie serial, and 1994 movie all established Lamont Cranston as The Shadow's true secret identity, both the pulp and most comics versions (including this one) postulate there's a real Cranston who allows The Dark Avenger to use his identity (and his fortune) in the battle against evil!

The cover of "Crime over Miami" shows Lamont Cranston encountering The Shadow...disguised as Cranston!

Aviator Kent Allard is considered The Shadow's true secret identity, not someone he impersonates.

This concludes our re-presentation of all seven of The Shadow's never-reprinted 1970s adventures, though they were run out of publishing order.

THE SHADOW "Night of the Damned!" Conclusion

When Last We Left The Shadow and His Aides...

Cover by Mike Kaluta

...The Shadow sends Margo Lane and Harry Vincent to New Gotham, a tourist trap town that re-creates life in America as it was 150 year ago.

But, as soon as they arrive, they're attacked and overwhelmed by hooded figures!
Meanwhile, in New York City, The Shadow scours the Russian expatriate community looking for Ivan Zarnovich aka Ivan the Possessed!
Returning to headquarters, He Who Knows What Evil learns Margo and Harry haven't reported in, and flies his autogyro towards New Gotham.
The aircraft was a wise move as the locals destroy the bridge that connects New Gotham to the mainland, while preparing to sacrifice Margo to...Beelzlebub???
The Shadow, of course, arrives in time and frees Margo.
Harry, whom the hooded locals had left for dead, leads them to Father Flotsky, a local priest who's apparently trying to stop (albeit unsuccessfully) Satan's corruption of the townspeople!
As The Shadow and Margo are briefed by the priest, Harry (possessed by Beelzebub) knocks them both unconscious.
The two awaken, bound to ancient dunking stools, which the leader of the locals utilizes...

"The Devil will not be mocked!"

This was E R Cruz's last (of three) issues of The Shadow, as well as being the final issue of the series itself.

(Yes, we've ben running them out of order.)
We previously-ran Cruz's second never-reprinted Shadow story, which featured a crossover guest appearance by fellow pulp hero The Avenger HERE and HERE!
