The story of how Lamont Cranston got his power, from a Shadow Comics issue

#focus on eyes
#the description of the boy seems to match Marpa Tulku in the movie
#I wonder if this is actually where they got the idea from
#to my knowledge this is the first time we ever got a full backstory on how he clouds minds
#he didn't do that in the pulps
#and the radio show only gave a little bit of explanation
#the reason described here for his pilgrimage has literally never been elaborated on elsewhere
#everytime they've done this backstory since then
#it's always him winding up at Tibet amidst his travels or being forced into it
#never him specifically looking for the temples and asking for help to fight a single defined enemy
#he had to communicate with men who did not speak his language or even heard of it
#pretty openly contradicts a lot of stuff from the pulps
#The S&S comics Shadow sits at like the complete opposite end of most of his modern adaptations
#which try to make The Shadow as edgy and violent and tortured as they can
#it's 100% sanitized family friendly American Hero Shadow
#a product of the Golden Age in it's most mediocre ways
#the monks just give the power to him like that
#no training required
#and apparently they did it because of the complete lack of evil in The Shadow's mind
#which is directly opposite to how a lot of modern adaptations tackle his powers
#I have conflicting thoughts on this
