THE SHADOW, USA
THE SHADOW Magazine was the first, and arguably the best, of the "character hero" pulp magazines. Launched in 1931 it soon established a monthly schedule and then, in 1932, doubled that to a twice-monthly schedule, which it maintained for over 10 years, before dropping back to a monthly schedule in 1943. This marked the beginning of the end with the schedule dropping to bimonthly in 1947 and then to quarterly in 1948, before the magazine finally expired in Summer 1949.
THE SHADOW is mentioned twice by Bob Dylan in CHRONICLES Volume 1.

A reproduction was published by Sanctum Books in 2015, ISBN 978-1608771783. Compare with the YouTube image below.
YouTube, 8 May 2020. The hanged silhouette, with its protruding forelock, may be quite "Trumpy looking".
