I'm buying this because I only own one of the 18 listed episodes, and I'm always looking to add a few Shadows to the collection.I was introduced to this wonderful old program when I was a little kid back in the early 80's. On long family car rides I would wake up in the middle of the night, and every now and again some radio station would be playing an episode. The violence and Old Testament morality of the show scared the hell out of me when it wasn't making me laugh myself into apoplexy. It wasn't long before I landed my first tape, an episode called "Death from the Deep" about a rich psychopath who trolls the seas in a custom-built submarine, sinking passenger liners and machine-gunning their crews. It featured what might be the best piece of cartoon villainy in all of entertainment history, when the baddie, smooth-talking Barry Vinton, exclaims: "Ah, this is the life, there's nothing like it. The sighting of fresh quarry in this periscope. The excitement of the chase and the spine-tingling thrill as the torpedo finds its mark. And then the climax, on deck with a machine gun, shooting them down like scurrying rats. Ha ha!"I don't know about you, but (to paraphrase Homer Simpson) I like my beer cold, my women hot, and my villains EEEEEEVIL. And nobody delivers mustache-twirling villainy like "The Shadow."The Shadow had a certain formula I grew to love as I began to buy episodes as a kid. Besides the frantic organ music and Margo's tendency to get kidnapped, it fell very heavily into the eye for an eye school of justice. To hell with shades of gray: the bad guys here were not merely bad, they were awful, literally bubbling over with villainy.
