I started thinking about the idea that what we see is not “real” but there is a reason why things appear the way they do. For […] A long time ago (1930’s), in a land far, far away (radio), a crime-fighting vigilante with supernatural abilities entertained us so profoundly that “The Shadow” made its way from radio to comic books, television, movies, and video games.
