Welcome to my official DA page, home of the original "Hallow's Eve". I have received professional training in the arts and, in 2011, I began authoring/illustrating the "All Hallows Eve" series for young readers (11 years before Marvel debuted a similar character). Currently, I am doing an indie comic series about Dell's public domain version of Dracula, who is a superhero.

Hey dude.
You remember what you said about using The Shadow?
Well... there's been some news about the original Radio version of him.

Interesting. Thank you for sharing. Keep in mind, however, that this applies only to the original version (where he was more of a Cryptkeeper style storyteller). The more familiar radio version debuted in 1938 (7 years after the pulp version) and I'm pretty sure Conde Nast have kept a tight leash on the rights to that version. I'm any case, this news is welcome. This particular version was set to expire at the end of the year anyway and I'm really more hyped for the pulp version (which will become PD at the end of next year). Although, the first issue of Archie's Shadow series is already PD... I guess this means someone could base their version off of that now.
Right.
Also on that same page it shows that both The Lone Ranger & Tonto are PD as well since there were no renewals on their radio shows' scripts.
Awesome. I imagine that there are some issues with trademark for both of them (as is to be expected in this day and age). I don't know who owns the later versions, but I know that Disney did that awful version with Johnny Depp as Tonto... So maybe they own the trademark now?
