Fan Fiction: Top Ten Lists
Top 10 Villains of The Shadow
 This list serves
as personal opinion only. I rank these villains on a number of factors,
most notably their importance in the pulps as well as how much of
a threat they bring to The Shadow and how regularly they may have
appeared in all Shadow media.
