The Shadow, at the end of each episode, reminded listeners, "The weed of crime bears bitter fruit! Crime does not pay...The Shadow knows!" The only recurring criminal organization he fought was the Hand ( The Hand, Murder for Sale, Chicago Crime, Crime Rides the Sea and Realm of Doom), where he defeated one Finger of the organization in each book. The shadow is the part of your personality that you’ve been suppressing since birth. Because it’s so difficult to accept, the shadow often remains completely unconscious.

The magazine was very popular. Initially a monthly release, it changed to a twice-monthly schedule for much of its run. Gibson penned 282 of the 325 Shadow stories published during the magazine’s run, with Theodore Tinsley and Bruce Elliott producing most of the remainder. Artists George Rozen and Graves Gladney provided striking cover art for most issues. Concurrent with the magazine’s run, Street & Smith also published Shadow comic books and licensed a newspaper comic strip. The Shadow’s popularity was such that the character also returned to radio in 1937 as the protagonist of a weekly series. A 15-chapter movie serial starring Victor Jory was released in 1940. A pair of Shadow B-movies were produced in 1937 and 1938, and three more were made in 1946. The Shadow also faces a wide variety of enemies, ranging from kingpins and mad scientists to international spies.Bally released a pinball machine based on The Shadow in 1994. The game was designed by Brian Eddy, and maintains modern popularity due to its clever use of mechanical features like the Phurba diverters, satisfying shot design, and unique upper playfield feature. But this is impossible. Like the yang to the yin, the shadow exists as a defining feature. Without shadow, there is no light and vice versa. Which brings me to the last book that makes up The Grey Album, a book that is here chiefly as an echo, a shadow book of its own—a book that may be impossible to write. For a time, after starting with poetry and ending up with music, it seems I was attempting to write a unified theory, a book that would encompass most everything. Such is the promise of modernity, at least in poetry: books like William Carlos Williams’s Paterson or Ezra Pound’s Cantos seemed to wonder, if only by their form, can the poem, can any one book, contain everything? Often, in an attempt to write “news that stays news” or to “make it new,” modernists created a poem that includes not everything but anything, from letters to news reports to the weather to other poets’ poems:

If we feel victimized by something, we tend to believe that there was nothing we could have done to prevent it. So, instead of owning up to our part in creating the situation, we give up and blame someone else. Well, I think it comes down to two main things. First, you need to feel safe enough to explore your shadow. If you’re feeling unsafe, you won’t be able to see it clearly. The shadow is associated with the qualities we have that we worry are less appealing to people. The shadow is our suppressed personality

Tropes:

The Shadow is a fictional character published in the United States of America by magazine publishers Street & Smith and writer Walter B. Gibson. Originally created to be a mysterious radio show narrator, [2] and developed into a distinct literary character in 1931 by writer Walter B. Gibson, The Shadow has been adapted into other forms of media, including American comic books, comic strips, serials, video games, and at least five feature films. The radio drama included episodes voiced by Orson Welles. Gibson, Walter B., and Anthony Tollin. The Shadow Scrapbook. Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1979. ISBN 0-15-681475-7. (Comprehensive history of The Shadow in all media forms up through its 1979 publication.) Kent Allard was a spy in World War I (as well as for Tsar Nicholas before the war) as well as a famed aviator who crashed in the South American jungles. He made a fortune in that region (where he discovered a city of gold) before he returned to New York where he adopted a new identity. Allard bore an astonishing physical resemblance to a man named Lamont Cranston and used his identity while Cranston was traveling around the world. So the shadow that is ignored begins to fester. It seeps out in unhealthy ways as we have discussed. Instead, he’s going to force you to look at yourself in a way you have never before. It’s a powerful approach, but one that works.

Storying is a term also taken in part from jazz, where it is a way of describing the desirable, necessary discipline required by a soloist—it is a form of saying the music must move, and must move you. Each good solo tells a story, one that while collective in nature—a calling out—must also be unique, your own. Otherwise, you yourself can be called out. An anecdote from Robert G. O’Meally’s The Jazz Cadence of American Culture helps illustrate this: Wells, John (2015). American Comic Book Chronicles: 1960–64. TwoMorrows Publishing. p.185. ISBN 978-1605490458. Although the concept of the shadow self was developed by Jung, he built upon ideas about the unconscious from philosophers Friedrich Nietzsche and Sigmund Freud.This is what many people call shadow work. But other words for it might also be self-reflection, self-examination, self-knowledge, or even, self-love. You may have heard people say things like “they don’t get along as they’re so similar that they butt heads”.
