Reprint history

The first three Shadow novels were issued in small hardcover versions in 1935 by the Ideal Library.

There were three Shadow annuals, in 1942, 1943 and 1947. Each annual would reprint three earlier published novels. (The three novels in each annual were edited to shorter lengths to fit the prescribed size of the publications.)

The next reprints of the original pulp stories did not appear until after the original stories ended in 1949: The Weird Adventures of The Shadow was published in 1966 by Grosset and Dunlop. This anthology, however, considerably edited the three stories contained therein.

Grosset also published one story, "The Grove of Doom" (pulp #37) as a Tempo paperback (5320), crediting Walter Gibson as author rather than using the Maxwell Grant pseudonym.

From 1969 to 1970, Bantam Books published seven reprints of early Shadow stories (reprinting #'s 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 14 and 16 from the original pulp series). The stories contained minor edits.

In 1974, Pyramid Books began reprinting early Shadow stories. The series, which consisted of 23 volumes, lasted through 1978. The reprints did not follow the original order of the pulp series. (The pulps reprinted were # 1, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 26, 27, 30, 42, 46, 48, 57 and 91.)

In 1975, two Shadow stories were published in a facsimile magazine published by Dover (reprinting pulps #103 and #138).

Eight Shadow stories were reissued in hardcover anthologies by the Doubleday Crime Club in the 1970s (reprinting pulps # 244, 271, 279, 293, 294, 296, 301 and 302). These reprints give sole credit to Walter Gibson as the author, rather than using the Maxwell Grant pseudonym on the cover.

In 1984, Mysterious Press published The Shadow and the Golden Master, a hardcover anthology that reprinted the first two appearances of Shiwan Khan, "The Golden Master" (#182) and "Shiwan Khan Returns" (#187). Dover Books would later reprint this same content in paperback.

In 2006, Sanctum Books, in association with Nostalgia Ventures, began reprinting the original pulps in near-replica editions. Each issue contains the original interior illustrations from the pulps as well as the original covers on the front and back. In late 2008, Nostalgia Ventures chose to end their association. The first 24 books were published under the Nostalgia Ventures brand, then Sanctum Books continued on their own beginning with book #25. (Sanctum Books also released a variant edition of book #9 using an alternate cover.) As of January 2020, 151 volumes (plus 2 annuals) have been published. Each volume reprints two novels except for volumes #50, 60, 75, 86, 100, 136, 140, 142, 148, and Annual 2, which reprint three novels in each book. The final three volumes #149, 150, and 151 contain four novels in each book.

Due to an early termination of license at the last minute, Sanctum Books was unable to publish three Shadow novels by Bruce Elliott (writer), leaving #307 ("Happy Death Day"), #311 ("Death Stalks the U. N.") and #319 ("Murder on Main Street") as the only three The Shadow pulp novels which have never been reprinted. Bruce Elliott's run of 15 novels in The Shadow magazine between 1946 and 1948 (issues #306 through 320) are held in low regard by Shadow fans because of Elliott's atypical handling of the character, best exemplified by these three particular stories in which the Shadow does not appear in his costumed identity.^[3]
