[edit] Reprint history
The first reprints of the original pulp stories to appear after the original stories ended in 1949 appeared in The Weird Adventures of The Shadow, published in 1966 by Grosset and Dunlop. The anthology, however, considerably edited the 3 stories contained therein.
From 1969 to 1970, Bantam Books published 7 reprints of early Shadow stories. The stories contained minor edits.
In 1974, Pyramid Books began reprinting early Shadow stories. The series, which consisted of 23 volumes, lasted through 1978.
In 1975, 2 Shadow stories were published in a facsimile magazine published by Dover.
8 Shadow stories were reissued in hardcover anthologies by the Doubleday Crime Club in the 1970s. These reprints are notable for giving sole credit to Walter Gibson as the author, rather than using the Maxwell Grant pseudonym on the cover.
In 2006, Nostalgia Ventures began reprinting the original pulps in near-replica editions. Each issue reprints 2 stories and contains the original interior illustrations from the pulps as well as the original covers on the front and back.
