Key Facts: This is an issue from the long-running Australian original comic series "The Shadow" (not the American pulp character by Walter B. Gibson/Maxwell Grant). The series began in 1950 under Frew Publications (created, written, and drawn by Jeff Wilkinson for the first 12 issues; later by Peter Chapman from #13 onward). It transitioned to Tricho Pty. Ltd. around #77 (1961) and continued through the early 1960s with original content by Chapman in many issues. Features black-and-white interior art (line art by Chapman), matte color cover, saddle-stitched binding, standard comic size, and detective-mystery genre for the main 22-page story. Includes a 1-page advertisement (for The Sampson School of Music). The series ran to #168 (late 1966), one of Australia's longest-running comic titles. #99 falls in the Tricho era (1961–1967) with approximate monthly releases.
