THE SECRET 6 Book #1: RED SHADOW By Robert J. Hogan 7" x 10", 110 page trade paperback, The Pulp Collector Press, Limited to 500 copies, Copyright 1986 "The Red Shadow" by Robert J. Hogan originally appeared in THE SECRET SIX MAGAZINE, October 1934. It struck out of the night, a phantom monster whose blood-red shadow brought death to everyone it touched. New York was panic-stricken. Beneath its reign of terror, the police were helpless. But grimly, out of the list of victims, rose six men ? six men who vowed to track the scarlet killer to a murder showdown! The premise of The Secret 6 was deceptively simple, yet pure pulp. An enigmatic adventurer known only as King busts out of Death Row to form an anti-crime group called The Secret 6. The others include The Key, The Doctor, Shakespeare, The Bishop, and Luga, as well as numerous underworld stool pigeons and hangers-on. All are wanted. So they operate outside the law. The work of the wildly imaginative Robert J. Hogan, who pitted his World War I flying ace, G-8, against zombies, Martians, defrosted Viking warriors, and other bizarre foes, The Secret 6 battled sinister supervillains, a Mayan Bat-Man, a giant golden alligator and other outrageous menaces. Few pulp series stretched reality as did this four-issue Popular Publications title from 1934-35. There were no limits. That's what made it a terrific read. The book is complete and in VERY GOOD condition with some overall wear that includes a light brownish stain along the upper right edge of the front cover. (see pictures)
