The Shadow: ‘Partners of Peril’ (Nov., 1936)
The story that “inspired” Batman. Not only was ‘Partners of Peril’ copied beat-by-beat by Bill Finger in Detective Comics #27, you may recognize some of Tom Lovell’s interior artwork as well. Some of it was actually traced by Bob Kane for the first appearance of the Caped Crusader. (Apparently Lovell was a big hit with artists, as fellow Shadow artist Ray Kinstler later copied the first-page illustration for the story “The White Skulls”)
‘Partners of Peril’ marked the first appearance of Walter Gibson’s alternate, Theodore Tinsley, who did an excellent job in the overworked pulp master’s absence. Tinsley would go on to write 24 more Shadow stories over the next six years. Gibson would say Tinsley was “…a well-established writer who did a fine job on The Shadow from start to finish.”
Written by: Theodore Tinsley (as Maxwell Grant)
Cover Art: George Rozen

An invisible man can rule the world. Nobody will see him come, nobody will see him go. He can hear every secret. He can rob, and rape, and kill!

Concept art for Jurassic Park (1993) by Craig Mullins (images 1 and 3), and David J Negron (2 and 4).
Everybody was talking about Jurassic Park at the time. It was that kind of film (everything is much more fragmented these days). The T-Rex was like the T-1000, an obvious breakthrough, a new Eighth Wonder. Audiences hadn’t seen that before: a walking, breathing dinosaur. It was as if dinosaurs roamed the Earth again.
