I knew he started out as a ripoff but, I thought that came way later.
>>152078395But you see, there is no timescale on WHEN something rips something else off.If the Shadow had a long history, and the OG Batman ripped that off, then that fact does not instantly mean that every aspect of the Shadow was ripped off all at once.In fact, all it implies is that ripping off any part of the Shadow beyond that original rip-off, is fair game; the hymen was already broken.
>>152078395Where are your ears buddy?
>>152078854Barber trimmed them
>>152078395Bro, Finger was tracing fucking shadow comics and turning them in to DC.
Both Batman and The Shadow lifted it from Hilton's Lost Horizon, Docs Savage and Strange too

>>152079487>Finger>a writer>was tracing Shadow comicsYou really don't think before writing huh
>>152079942ehhh Shangri-La is a specific place with a specific background; there are lots of places where Westerner goes and learns the ancient secrets (Blazing Skull goes to another, for another contemporary 1940s example) though what those secrets are and how they're learned is often very differentin Lost Horizon, it's strongly implied that leaving Shangri-La causes its effects to cease (so the otherwise immortal inhabitants die), but that's straight out of the Picture of Dorian Gray or Map's de nugis curialium story about King Herla>>152078395Finger stole everything>>152078474ehhhhhhhhhhhh not really
