When the Spider, Shadow, Doc Savage, Phantom Detective, Dick Tracy et al. acknowledge the end of prohibition?

[Enda80]

Prohibition ended in December of 1933. The Saint in New York
references this as having happened. It got published in 1934 (though
Charteris later wrote in an introduction that it took place in 1933;
therefore it took place in December of 1933).

Does anyone know in which entries of the series about the Spider, the
Shadow, Doc Savage, Dick Tracy, etc. the first acknowledgment of the
repeal of prohibition took place?

THE SPIDER
"Serpent of Destruction" acknowledges the repeal of Prohibition.

Thanks for the reply. Looking at the question again, I see a problem
is that, as Prohibition ended in 1933, while Dick Tracy and the Shadow
debuted in 1931, not much of a window of opportunity for imitators and
manque to emerge elapsed in between.

Doc Savage and the Phantom (of Phantom Detective) only debuted in
early 1933, while the Spider debuted in October of that year-just two
months before the repeal.

In THE SHADOW, I believe "Grove of Doom" was written before
Prohibition was voted out, but published in September of 1933, when
Prohibition was know to be on the way out. It refers to gangsters
getting out of the rum-running racket, but as I recall is vague as to
when Prohibition was ending.
