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, 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"! CHAPTER I |
