Night,.Re your recollection below:.“There was on crossover of The Shadow with another Golden Age radio hero. Can’t recall who . . . "
I believe it was a comic book that also featured another pulp novel hero, Doc Savage. This was a cross-over that was possible because both characters were owned by Conde Nast, the successor to Street & Smith, which published the Shadow and Doc Savage pulp magazines.
A similar crossover with Tracy is not likely, because of the copyright problems.
FWIW, I don’t really think masked, costumed heroes like The Shadow, or super-powered figures like Doc Savage, fit into the more realistic, “police procedural” world of Tracy.
If copyright issues could be gotten by (they can’t, so this is just fantasy), I’d prefer to see cross-overs in which Tracy met characters like Joe Friday from DRAGNET, Steve Carella from Ed McBain’s “87th Precinct” novels, or Martin Beck from the Swedish cop novels by Maj Sjowall and Per Wahloo.
