What is The Shadow 180 Wizard of Crime about?
WIZARD OF CRIME was originally published in the August 15, 1939 issue of The Shadow Magazine. A little over three years later, a second story would be published in The Shadow Magazine with the same title. The two stories were entirely separate and had nothing in common, excepting the accidental usage of the same title. Of the two, this Shadow mystery was clearly the better. Our proxy hero for this tale is young Ralph Atgood, recently out of a job. He's engaged to beautiful Alicia Weylan whose father is a wealthy owner of a patent-medicine business. He needs to prove himself responsible and gainfully employed, in order to win the approval of old Carter J. Weylan. So when he's offered a job working for the mysterious philanthropist R. G. Dean, he can't be choosy. Atgood will be responsible for correspondence, delivery of important packages and other such matters. He will receive his orders from Frederick Glenny, who manages the affairs of Mr. Dean. And being the innocent young man that he is, he accepts the position. Little does he realize that his unseen benefactor R. G. Dean is in reality a swindler and extortionist. And gradually, Ralph Atgood will be drawn into the web of crime a
