The Shadow makes an appearance in....clipart?! Yes, that's right, I found
this by accident. In Sierra Home® Print Artist
8.0 Platinum® clipart collection, this picture is located on
CD #2 (of 7) under the category "Cartoon Men". It's entitled
Radio Announcer,
and the file name is Art175.gif
The Animated Shadow
The Shadow in animation? Why not? You will need RealPlayer

Extra Curricular Activities
Ever wanted to know what The Shadow does in his spare time? How
about reporting on the Timeshare (or
Vacation Ownership) industry? You
have to see it to believe it! (Thanks to
Ayn for the information!)
What's your sign?
The fantasy roleplaying game "The Elder Scrolls
III: Morrowind", available for PC and XBox, allows you to
create your own character and set him/her on an adventure in a mythical
world. You can shape your characer by choosing his/her race, type
(e.g. warrior, wizard, etc.), and even his/her astrological
sign. Interestingly enough, there is a "Shadow"
sign which enables your character to become
invisible at will! Learn
more about the game.(Thanks to Don for the

Something to Sing About
New Wave artists Devo (best known
for the song Whip It) had a song called The
Shadow. It was on their 1998 album
Total Devo. The song deals with the dark side of people,
and contains a few lines we Shadow fans know so well.(Thanks
to Planetloud for the information!)

Spyware's own Spy
In Lavasoft's
anti-spyware software, SpySweeper, the control
panel along the left side features two buttons that show a figure in the
background dressed in black with a wide-brimmed hat tilted down on one
side. Sound familiar?

Spy Game
In this card game, "Spy", you must send
out your spies to deliver secret documents. Notice that the cover of the
card game looks very similiar to the 1994 movie poster!

Vampires, Zombies and Werewolves, oh my...
Released in 1999, video game "Nocturne"
featured a mysterious .45 automatic-wielding anti-hero clad in a fedora
and a long trench coat that whipped in the wind like a cloak. Sound familiar?
Reminiscent of The Shadow from the radio and comics, "The Stranger"
fought the supernatural. The difference is, the game is set in the 1920s,
The Stranger works for a secret government organization, and those .45s
are laser-guided!
