An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Style B Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28") (Learn More) The Shadow Strikes, the 1937 Lynn Shores super hero detective crime mystery thriller (from the story 'The Ghost of the Manor' by Walter B. Gibson, who was the creator of The Shadow character in the pulp magazines; "From The Famous Shadow Stories") starring Rod La Rocque (in the title role as The Shadow/Lamont Granston), Agnes Anderson (billed as "Lynn Anders"), James Blackeley, Walter McGrail, and Bruce Kellogg. Note that The Shadow had been a hero in pulp magazines and on the radio since 1930, but in 1937, a new radio series began with Orson Welles playing The Shadow, and that gave a great boost to this movie, which came out at the same time! Note that this movie was followed by a sequel the following year "International Crime", with Rod La Rocque reprising his role NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been paperbacked. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thicker paper backing, it CAN'T be sent rolled (someone could conceivably roll it or try to do so, but we think it would almost certainly damage it, so we will only send it in a large flat package, unless the buyer insists, and then they would be responsible for any damage). What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had many defects, but it had never been folded. It had tears and substantial areas of paper loss around the edges, but they were largely in the blank borders, and only very slightly extending into the image in a couple of places. There were some smudges and scuffs scattered in the image, but they were not very substantial. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was nicely backed by a really talented restorer, and it looks and displays great, and I would think everyone would be happy to display it on their wall! Learn More about condition grades
