The Shadow

Frew Publications · 1954–1967 · 168 issues
About the series

Peter Chapman, as both writer and artist, steered this long-running Australian series from Frew Publications, which kept the pulp hero alive in comics for over a decade and 168 issues. The Shadow stalked the newsstands from 1954 to 1967, a consistent, homegrown take on the mysterious vigilante that outlasted many of his American contemporaries. Its sheer duration and single-creator backbone make it a fascinating, if lesser-known, chapter in the character's publishing history.
