"The Shadow Magazine" ceased publication with the Summer 1949 issue, but Walter B. Gibson wrote three new "official" stories between 1963 and 1980. The first began a new series of nine updated Shadow novels from Belmont Books, starting with "Return of The Shadow" under his own name. The remaining eight—"The Shadow Strikes", "Beware Shadow", "Cry Shadow", "The Shadow's Revenge", "Mark of The Shadow", "Shadow Go Mad", "Night of The Shadow", and "The Shadow, Destination: Moon"—were written by Dennis Lynds, not Gibson, under the Maxwell Grant pseudonym. In these novels, The Shadow is given psychic powers, including the radio character's ability "to cloud men's minds," so that he effectively became invisible; he is more of a spymaster than crime fighter in these eight updated novels.
