You missed my fave- Frank Robbins, baby!
No, actually my favorite would be the O'Neil/Kaluta version, followed by the radio show and pulp novels in a tie.
When Kaluta left and was replaced by Frank Robbins, I couldn't process it. I continued buying because of my love of the Shadow, but his art made no sense to me at the time. I quickly grew to love the energy of it, though.
The DC 70's book was my introduction to the character. And, yes, Robbins was a love/hate
relationship for me. He worked the best on The Invaders for me, but any period piece worked
well for his artwork once you acquired your taste for it.
I have the serial, which I like, and also an early made for TV pilot episode. I haven't watched the
two pre-Serial movies or one post-serial B&W movie, but I may pick them up yet. Amazon has a
collection of all the earlier pre-Baldwin stuff.
