Love The Shadow! I even enjoyed the Baldwin movie, very much I might add.

The Spider all the way. The only version of The Shadow I liked were the OTR shows ,The Serial and Shadow Behind the Mask movie even though none of them are very much alike. I read a few of the novels and found them rather boring.
I've a couple Doc Savage books but just couldn't get into them that much.

The Spider,if you have never read any is action packed and very violent. Many of the stories I would classify as "weird menace". If follywood didn't screw it up this could be great movie material.

 Went with Dr. Fu Manchu.  Love Sax Rohmer's diabolical villainous character in his series of books.
