BROTHERS OF DOOM
by Maxwell Grant

As originally published in "The Shadow Magazine," June 1, 1937.

Through air reddened with the flaming glow of mighty mills of steel
sounds
the strident scream of The Shadow's taunting laugh, as he meets the challenge
of
the evil four who had made their terrible compact as Brothers of Doom.


One after the other, mighty barons of industry died on the threshold of
great success. Millions were in their grasp; then came death! From
motion-picture magnate to Wall Street millionaire - all were stricken down
with
the suddenness of a meteor's flash. No warning. Then the unexpected.
Brothers of Doom!
Into each murder scene came these four men of evil - four gray-clad
fiends
whose masked eyes held the glitter of prearranged murder! Brothers of Doom
showed no mercy; their evil work done, silently would they steal away, to plot
the gruesome crimes that would be their future strikes.
Rolling high above the creeping fog, billowing tongues of flame outlined
the rambling, massive buildings that, flung across the New Jersey meadows,
made
up the Centurion Steel Co. Its fiery furnaces once cool, its interior silent
of
the hoarse shouts of workers' voices, these sounds were heard again; the heat
of molten steel felt, as new management took over the old company.
But into this rejuvenated industry crept the menace that was Brothers of
Doom. Through wreathing fog, their approach was unseen - unseen to all but one
pair of eyes. Gleaming, piercing eyes - that could penetrate the evil afoot.
The Shadow's eyes!
The Shadow!
To this Master Crime Fighter had come secret knowledge that all was not
well within the empire of steel. Brothers of Doom walked abroad, and in their
bloody wake was a trail of blood and disaster!
Turn the page and read of the titanic struggle between this evil horde
and
The Shadow, and of the masterminds of the steel industry who ruled their
empire
of molten metal with hands as strong as the product they produced!
Follow the trail of The Shadow, as he moves from strand to strand of the
web of crime woven by the Brothers of Doom. Turn over the page and start this
thrilling episode of The Shadow's, as he closes in on "Brothers of Doom"!
