This one was very good
I think Wagner simplified Cranston's personality quite a bit - in the pulps he was quite capable of turning the Shadow 'off' at times and just having an enjoyable night out on the town with Margo Lane.
The best thing about the series though, is that Grendel is such a Marty Stu in his own strip, that seeing him trounced for once by the Shadow is a special treat.

Like I said, I'm no expert on The Shadow but in the few stories I've read he seems to me, well, virtually invincible. After he finds the culprits, it's game over for them. This is the only story where he fought a single opponent for more than a couple of pages, so it's anyway a big feat for Grendel .
