Cardboard display, vintage advertisement for
The Shadow adventures, likely from a pulp magazine. The text on the image, "The Shadow Knows" and "The Shadow's adventures on sale at all news stands ten cents," refers to the popular fictional character who originated in radio dramas and pulp magazines in the 1930s. The character is a crimefighter with psychic abilities who is known for his signature line, "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!".
The advertisement was published by Street & Smith, the company that owned The Shadow and published the pulp magazines and comics. The image is a promotional piece to encourage readers to purchase the latest issue of the magazine. |
