The Shadow is a fictional character created by Walter B. Gibson in 1931 with the first story title "The Living Shadow". 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 originally played by Orson Welles, 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!"We live in turbulent times, the values of the human race have declined, no one it seems wishes to take account for their actions. The Shadow came from a time when men and women understood words like respect, loyalty, trust and humility toward their fellow man. The Shadow believes that man can once again achieve that humble way of thinking.The internet is a tool, it can be used for evil, it can be used for good. I ask anyone who joins me as one of my agents to use their computer for good and help me weed out those who would do evil, rather it be on the net or in the real world.Won’t you join me in doing some good?
