The Shadow is a fictional character created by Walter
B. Gibson. The character is one of the most famous of the pulp heroes
of the 1930s and 1940s -- made even more famous through a popular
radio series, The Shadow has also been featured in comic books,
comic strips, television, and at least seven motion pictures. Regardless,
The Shadow is best regarded for its radio years, in which pulp crime
fiction received perhaps its most compelling broadcast interpretation.
Even after decades, the unmistakable introduction from The Shadow,
intoned by announcer John Archer, has earned a place in the American
lexicon: "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The
Shadow knows!"
The Shadow was portrayed by such actors as Orson Welles, Bill Johnstone,
Bret Morrison (who had the longest tenure, with ten years in two
separate runs), John Archer, and Steve Courtleigh as Lamont Cranston/The
Shadow.
