The Robot Master

Again, Bill, you are correct.  From May of 1943, a cover I don't even know how to address.  Nothing "Shadow-ish" about it.  Could be an Ellery Queen digest if not for the masthead.  And what misguided art director thought that losing the iconic logo was a good idea?  Change for change sake is rarely a good thing.  And we all know what the changes to our favorite character brought about.  For those interested in a review of this story, go here.

  1. I agree: very blah cover. I assume that one of the hawk-nosed men is The Shadow, but... New logo was definitely a mistake. Yet the magazine survived another 6 years, so maybe the changes helped "keep it fresh" in peoples' minds? On not...
