The Knight of Darkness journeys from Connecticut to Chicago's slums and the Alabama bayous in never-reprinted pulp novels by Walter B. Gibson and Theodore Tinsley writing as "Maxwell Grant."

First, an innocent man is accused of serial slayings perpetrated in an old colonial "Murder Mansion," and only The Shadow can unmask the real murderer-but which Shadow? Then, the Dark Avenger braves a series of bizarre deathtraps as he investigates the strange disappearances of "Young Men of Death."

BONUS: Carrie Cashin confronts ancient Egyptian magic in "Black Queen."

This collector's special showcases the classic color pulp covers by George Rozen and Modest Stein, original interior illustrations by Paul Orban, and historical commentary by Will Murray and Anthony Tollin.
